Before it's too late...
...and before we completely forget all about the Christmas we just had, let me show you a couple of pictures from this years cookie-baking-parade. My Bonusmom and I have made a tradition out of getting together on the third Sunday in Advent and bake a truckload of cookies. This year, I totally miscalculated and made WAAAAAY to much dough - apparently, there is such a thing as too many cookies! We had a lot of fun though, and luckily, M and I also have a tradition of inviting family and friends around for some white glögg and cookies (and a little savory bite, too) on the very same day - let's just say people were stuffed with cookies and had their purses full of ready-to-bake homemade cookie dough when they left!
There are the cookies that are always there - vanillekranse (bottom picture, the big, BIG jar!) and klejner (top tier) - a couple classics, but not ones we make every year - brunkager (bottom tier) and specier (middle tier, right) this year - and a couple new ones as well. I scoured the foodblogs and tried out Farmgirl's Molasses Ginger Spice Snaps (they're on the middle tier, left) and Nic's Christmas cut-out cookies that I bookmarked already last year (never managed to snap a photo). My baby sister loved the Molasses Ginger Spice Snaps and gobbled up four before they'd even cooled. The cut-out cookies are probably the best of it's kind I've ever tried - soft, buttery and just that bit more interesting than my usual standby from Nigella's Domestic Goddess book. I'd planned to make icing for people to decorate their own cookies, and I guess the cookies are even better with the icing - but I never got that far and they disappeared regardless! It was a cookie-feast indeed...

Vanillekranse - not enough to fill this GIGANTIC jar I got from my Boyfriend as an advents-present, but makes probably, oh... 80 cookies?
will update with the recipe - heck, it's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye, you're not going to make them now anyways, are you?;-)
