I haven’t posted a yearly cookie tray since 2015. In the years since, I often made at least one type of cookie (usually a cut-out sugar cookie). This year, I will make cut-out sugar cookies with my niece. Last year my Mom wanted an assortment so I attended a cookie exchange. Mom asked me to make my own assortment of cookies this year since she prefers mine. It was my first time since I was married to make 5 different types and freeze. I hope that my family enjoys!

• Pumpkin Pecan Tassies – My Mom loves these and they are a tradition.
• Cream Cheese Spritz – I don’t like working with a cookie press – it always causes me trouble but I like the taste of these cookies.
• Rum Balls – This was my first time making Rum balls. I rolled some in powered sugar, some in cocoa powder. We will see how my family likes them.
• Peanut Butter Munchies – These cookies take a little bit of effort but it is worth it! I put the cookie dough and filling on separate sheets of waxed paper to divide each into the 32 portions.
• Candy Cane Cookie – These take a long time to shape but they are very cute and tasty.
