Lots of Cookies

I am going to apologize in advance. I have been meaning to post all these cookie recipes for the past few weeks, ok maybe 2 months. Time got the best of me and I never got around to it. These are the cookies I made this past year for Christmas that were a success. (There were other cookies that were a fail) I am becoming better at baking, learning as I go, and enjoying it. For Christmas this year I got a Kitchenaid mixer. I am so excited to eventually use it to bake with. I can't wait to come up with an excuse to use it.
