Feather Runner By: Joy Voltenburg,
Illinois, USA
This was a test of thread and fabric. I’d received a cone of Glide thread from the manufacturer and was asked to give feedback on how it performed. I used a crepe-backed satin fabric – using the shiny side up on the top and the crepe side down on the back. The thread performed wonderfully.

I love those Mexican wedding cookies. OM nom nom nom! I only bake about a half dozen for myself.
I make a family cookie called Nuthorns. As a family, we usually make about 150 cookies each year.
Some of my favorite cookies are the shortbreads, simple to make and so easy to eat, at my age now I usually buy them.
Mine is gingerbread and haven’t quite got the recipe down well enough yet to be edible lol so after a dozen I give up.

My mom makes these great tri-colored cookies with chocolate between each color. I usually make about 4 dozen assorted cookies.
My favorite Christmas cookie is the old fashioned sugar cookie decorated with lots of buttercream icing and cinnamon “reds” and other goodies on top! The more piled on there, the better! When I make them, I usually do one batch only as my sister makes a lot of them otherwise. :)
I make Snickerdoodles and soft molasses raisin cookie. It a rough guess but I imagine I end up make at least 10 dozen of them.
Spritz cookies are my favorite and probably make 15 dozen. But they’re small cookies. You can’t eat just one.
the favorite around our house is One we call “frogs” it is a no bake chocolate drop with coconut and oatmeal…. they never stay around long..
I love 7 layer shortbread cookies (alternating layers of vanilla and chocolate shortbread).
My favorite are German Almond Crescent Cookies. I don’t make any but I usually get some! Thanks.

I love so many of the pretty runners ! lovely!
My favorite is thumbprints. I make at least a few dozen with different kinds of jam.
I love decorated sugar cookies. It’s a tradition for all of us to sit around the kitchen table, frosting and decorating cookies … and making a HUGE mess. Could almost bring out the hose to get all the sugar off the table and floor. SO much fun. Will probably make 5-6 dozen this year.
Tea cakes, I usually make 3 dozen, thanks
My favorite are oatmeal wreath cookies with green cream cheese frosting and red hot dots for decor. We make three dozens. One for each child and us.

Great runners for Christmas! My favorite cookies are the ones someone bakes for me!
My favorite is Pecan Butterscotch Chip & I make about 9 dozen (3 batches). Thanks for the great giveaway.
Elfin shortbread bites, they are shortbread with coloured sprinkles (the tiny dots) mixed in and then cut 1/2 inch square. That way you can eat a handful and not feel guilty.

I love Thumbprints!!! Why am I hungry after reading all the responses??!!
White choc chip….with pecans!!!! As many as I can!! Great to dip them partially in choc.
Peppernuts-a tiny anise-flavored crunchy spice cookie. The recipe makes 1 1/2 gallon-I’ve never counted them in dozens.
My favorite is gingerbread cookies! To be honest, I haven’t baked any for a long time – my oven doesn’t know what temperature it’s supposed to stay at!
My favorite (at Christmas and year round) are Snickerdoodles…I’ve made eight dozen..so far :)
My favorite are called candy canes. It is a butter cookie that has almond flavoring and topped with crushed candy canes
I love Whipped Shortbread! I used to make them twice before Christmas and usually 6 dozen each time. Now a days I don’t bake as no one is really eating baked goods anymore.
The Day Dream quilt is so striking! I love making almond bread (can I class that as a cookie?). I usually make three loaves which then are sliced into lots of almond bread. I’m not sure how many I get from a loaf.
My fav are local cookies. I would translate it as vanilla rolls. They are tiny and yummy.
I really love truffles, and I make around a dozen dozens a year. They always seem to disappear. Thanks for the chance!
Bull’s Eye cookies….peanut butter with chocolate. I usually only make a dozen because they get eaten so fast before being able to give any away.
Beacon Hill cookies are my favorite for Christmas! I usually
make at least 6 dozen
Shortbread! I make dozens and dozens every year, for family and to give to friends in pretty Christmas tins.
What’s your favourite Christmas cookie and how many dozen do you make each year? I think cookies should be made year round. Don’t save them up until the holidays! A cookie can make someone smile. My favorite is the peanut butter cookie. It is more of an everyday cookie than a holiday cookie, but it is my favorite.
Love the runners!
I make an Italian anise cookie whose recipe came from a neighbor decades ago! The recipe makes a 3/4 brown paper sackful of cookies!
Those runners have definitely inspired me! My favorite cookie is springerle made with anise. Since I’m about the only one that eats it, I only make a few dozen.
Peanut butter and jelly thumb print cookies and too many to count all year round!
Pecan biscotti – it is a favorite for both my family and my work cookie exchange, so I usually make at least 10 doz.
My favorite Christmas cookie is cut out cookies decorated with sprinkles. I usually make 5 dozen at least. Thanks for the giveaway! Good luck everyone!
