Cookie Factory Part II

Well it was a big job but we got it done. All the cookies are baked, decorated and divided up into tins. It was quite fun. We're having a raging blizzard outside but at least we didn't lose power this time (at least so far). We missed the other helpers though. Here are lots of pictures.

This kind has some cardamom in the dough and chocolate and pistachios decorating. They're called black and whites.
Here are the old stand-by cookies - beautiful frosted sugar cookies. Nathan and I painted and Sarah decorated.A few close-ups:


These Christmas trees have a little peppermint extract so they taste slightly minty.

This is an old favorite from Elmira - poppy seed cookies. They're really rich and buttery.

These are Sarah's favorite - buried cherry cookies. Lots of steps but really worth the effort.
The spoon fell in.
Super-good!

What's missing? Rugalach! :(

The rugulah dough is still in the refrigerator waiting for a rolling pin to roll it out.

The cookies look great!
