I nearly forgot I promised a peek at the filled tray! Here is one all wrapped up and ready to go. Each tray contained 17 different kinds of cookies plus peppermint bark and was topped off with a giant Gingerbread Snowflake ala Martha Stewart (just click the link for the recipe and directions) below.
This is a view of the tray before the addition of the Gingerbread Snowflake. Below the Snowflake, I've listed all the varieties of cookies I baked this year. You can click on the names in red to be taken to the recipes.
Lemon Sugar Cookie Stars, Chocolate Expresso Pinwheels, Cinnamon Twists, White Chocolate Macadamia, Mint Chocolate Chip, Hazelnut Crinkles, Princess Gems, Peppermint Bark, Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chunk, Russian Teacakes, White Chocolate Tropical Macaroons,

Hope your Christmas was filled with Happy Memories!
