Reply #23: It begins tomorrow

I have to make my dad's favorites so I can mail them to him asap. Those are called "Trixies" and consist of two chocolate/brownie style layers with nuts and raisins, with a layer of peppermint frosting in between. It is my grandmother's recipe and no one else makes them anymore for him.

I don't do cut-out cookies, because I have no cookie cutters at this point and I don't like to buy pre-cut cookies.

I will make some spritz cookies, at some point, and those hershy-kiss peanut butter thumbprint cookies. I also will make my famous chocolate caramel bars before my family party on 12-30.
