Organizing tips for baking Christmas cookies

Do you love to make cookies and other baked goods, especially at Christmas time?  I do too.  Sometimes it feels like more work than fun.  Here are some tips to help you stay organized and enjoy the task with your family.

  • Choose recipes; ask your family for their favorites and add your favorite.
  • Do you have all the ingredients?
  • Make a grocery list of items you need.
  • Block off some time on your schedule.  If you want help, block off a day when family or friends are available.
  • Have a cookie swap with friends, many hands make light work!
  • Clear off your counters and table to make space for rolling cookies and cookies that need to cool.
  • Assemble containers for storing cookies.
  • Assemble ingredients, tools and recipes.
  • Fill the sink with soapy water and clean as you bake instead of having one huge pile of dirty dishes when you finish baking.
  • Enjoy!  Your kitchen probably smells terrific!

What cookies are your favorites?
