Second set of cookies

99 problems

And crumbly thumbprint dough is definitely one of them. No worries: as with many problems, this one can be fixed with more butter!

Maureen and Don arrive

With plenty of beer. They are CBD veterans.

The bottom of a cup can make a pattern. Who'd have thought.

Oven on in Nashville!

It's an important job.

Hot cookies coming through!

Oooooooo

This is not dough

The crackers are probably a giveaway.

On the list this year in Nashville:

Snowballs, peanut butter blossoms, chocolate chip with nuts, and chocolate-chocolate chip marshmallow clouds. There will also be a lot of sugar cookie decorating going on.

First cookies in!

There can be only one.

Empty tables

Soon there will be cookies. So many cookies.

Label it!

Phineas Butterworth does not want you to  take his peanut butter blossom dough.

Tongue Twister

How many plastic pots of peanut butter do you put in a batch of peanut butter blossoms if peanut butter blossoms need plastic pots of peanut butter? Exactly one, thanks for playing!

Cookie Baking Day 2014 is Sunday, December 21

Cookie Baking Day is "an Undis family tradition since 1980 or so". It says so right on some of our shirts:


So this year marks the 35th or so anniversary of Cookie Baking Day.

Tune in here Sunday, December 21, for some hot Cookie Baking Day action. The ovens will be turned on at 10:00 am Central time. Blogging will probably commence before that.

Cookie Baking Day: brought to you on the internet since 2005 by the Cookie Baking Day blog.
