Operation: Christmas Cookies
Baked goods achieved today by yours truly:
6 dozen Linzer cookies with raspberry jam (I hate this dough very much, because it is so soft and sticky, but the cookies are pretty delicious)
4 dozen lemon wreath cookies with pistachio nuts (OM NOM NOM LEMON)
2 dozen chocolate sandwich cookies with a peppermint cream filling (so good looking they almost make me forget I hate peppermint)
Tomorrow we - by which I mean I, my dad being mostly relegated to doing dishes and taking things out of the oven - are baking another batch of the linzers, another batch of the sandwich cookies, chocolate-raspberry/other jelly filling thumbprint cookies, and peanut butter cookies. And we may do another round on Wednesday/Thursday after we've given cookies to all his clients. I have never baked so much in my life.
For now though I am back to work on my Yuletide fic, which is about 850 words in and maybe a quarter of the way through the actual plot, so with some hard work put in tonight might actually be something approaching done by the deadline.
