After doing almost NO baking last year, I'm planning to get back in the game this year!
For my co-workers, DH's co workers and daycare staff I am going to make Christmas Cookie trays. I will be making dough ahead and freezing and/or baking and freezing to save time.
My question to everyone is, what is a good assortment? 7 - 10 kinds? What flavors / colors are nice for a good variety?
I can't make cookies for ALL of DH's co-workers - the company is huge - but I'll want to fill a pretty good size tray to cover his floor at least. Might just do two trays depending.
My office has two floors now so I'll be making at least two big trays for them plus one big tray for daycare staff.
Finally, even with making ahead the dough or even the baked cookies, I tend to always want to add a little extra something to the trays. You know, like spreading PB between two Ritz crackers and then dipping in melted chocolate.
Or putting a Rolo on a little pretzel, warming it, then pressing a pecan half down on top...
If anyone has any other suggestions for little "cheats" like this I am all ears!!!
