Yum! I will be trying a few of these this week in preparation for Christmas trays. I made your Ginger cookies over the weekend (not the ones posted on this page – just plain ginger cookies rolled in sugar) and we loved them. Thanks, Lori!

that cinnamon fudge is a double edged sword–i can’t not make it and i can’t not eat the entire batch myself.

I just made the sparkly butter toffee cookies last night and they were delicious! Now that I’ve seen the chocolate mint wafer, It’s a must make too!
