I love your recipes and am always glad to have a bunch of them with a theme. But going through them, back and forth from the listing to the individual recipes usually gets me exhausted so I give up. It would be really great if you could lump them into a ebooklet that we could download onto a books app like Kindle. Then, it’s easy to refer to them and peruse at leisure and not loose them.
So excited to make your cookie recipes, I’ve made several of your amazing food recipes! My question is when do you start baking cookies and how do you store them?
I always wait till closer to Christmas and then run out of time.
Thank you

Thanks for the feedback, Loretta! We have plans to modify the formatting in the future.

I bake them the week of use, throw them in the freezer, and thaw the day of!
