I don't buy the creamy PB, only the extra crunchy type. I doubt it would make a difference, right? Yes, please share your gf macaroon cookies, I like to try 2-3 recipes of anything and then choose my favorite(s).Oh and they’re gluten free cool.

I would never have thought of mixing peanut butter and coconut together. That’s interesting.

What? 4500 to 5000 cookies?
That’s a LOT of cookies but good for you.
I thought I baked a lot of cookies at Christmas but I’m still in the hundreds. Well my hats off to you.
Are these all for family or do you do professional baking?
I had to look up a couple of things before replying to your post like rugelach - rolled pastry and pignoli - pink nuts
You ARE a professional baker if you are baking that many and that assortment. That’s crazy but in the best possibly way.
What are snickerdoodles?
The gas oven is something I’d love to have someday and it’s good you listened to your daughter. Having things at eye level is so important, not only for the cookie assembly line but for viewing purposes alone. Who wants to bend or knee down to see how something’s doing. Good choice.
Christmas at your house must be a real treat.
Thank you for the explanation. I love biscottis.
Orange / Almond were my favourite.
We will adopt me? LolLike most traditions, this one evolved. It started off with making a few different Christmas cookies plus some sugar cookies for my kids to decorate. When they were in HS they had friends who'd never decorated Christmas cookies. so we invited them to join in.
I had to feed them, right? So I'd make the cookies and frostings ahead of time and set up our (4X9) glass dining room table with decorating supplies and make pizza while they were decorating. I'd send them home with the cookies they'd made plus whatever others I'd been baking.
We're up to 4-5 parties each Christmastime, each following that template. 30-35 people per party. I make pizza all night (usually 24 large pies) while our guests eat, drink, visit, and decorate cookies. When they leave we send each single or couple home with a tray of about 50 cookies plus the ones they decorated. Some take pizza, too, if there's any left. (You'd be surprised how much people consume over the course of several hours...)
I also ship cookies to far away family and friends who were former pizza/cookie party members but have moved away. I know who favors which cookies and give extras accordingly.
Not a professional baker.... just do it for the love of the season, the love of my family and friends, and the love of baking endlessly for a few weeks, STARTING TODAY! Yay!!!!
p.s. Snickerdoodles are a favorite of my younger son. It's a tangy cookie made with cream of tartar. Very addictive.
That's amazing, SS! I'll bet your guests are very happy.I've been a busy little elf the past couple of weeks, but wanted to send a photo of what my first round of cookies looked like (roughly 1500 of them). Most were eaten or given away at the first party. 2nd party is this Friday and I'm nearly ready with the next go-round of cookies.
Are those biscotti in the middle of the table? I'm gonna make some today, got the cravings now.I've been a busy little elf the past couple of weeks, but wanted to send a photo of what my first round of cookies looked like (roughly 1500 of them).

I make two versions of biscotti - with and without dried cranberries. One of my sons prefers his biscotti cranberry-free so those are special for him. Love my three kids!!!!Are those biscotti in the middle of the table? I'm gonna make some today, got the cravings now.
Cranberries! I never thought of that, I have some in my fridge. Mine just have sliced almonds and cut up walnuts and I use anise seeds. Very simple. Do you toast the biscotti? I don't, this way I take them from the freezer and pop them in the toaster when ready to eat and they're hot and toasted.I make two versions of biscotti - with and without dried cranberries.

The big trays toward the back of the table are biscotti with cranberries.
Depends on the specific batch. Sometimes I toast it, sometimes it doesn't need it. I use slivered almonds (that I toast in a frying pan) and anise extract. No anise seeds or walnuts in my biscotti.Cranberries! I never thought of that, I have some in my fridge. Mine just have sliced almonds and cut up walnuts and I use anise seeds. Very simple.
