My sister is having her annual cookie making “party” Saturday afternoon. She invites two of her friends, her daughter, and me to bring ingredients for cookies to her house. We all work together for 2-3 hours and end up with a nice variety of cookies. The conversation is always lively plus, we have lots of fun with many different tunes from cell phone timers going off all the time.

I am searching for a recipe for the Mexican Christmas cookie that is round and white. This is my Dad’s favorite. Last year he declared there weren’t enough nuts in the one we made, so I am on the hunt for another recipe.

I use my share of the cookies for gifts and to take to potlucks plus, I freeze some for last minute guests. I always try to buy a few holiday containers on sale after the holidays (presentation is everything!).
