Boyd's Favorite Christmas Cookies

One year (not so very long ago, lest you think he was a little kids at the time) he ate so many of these little gems that he actually gave himself an upset stomach. The next year I decided to nip it in the bud, so to speak, and didn't make any of this particular kind of cookie.
"But. . .? Whadaya mean you didn't make any? Really? Are you just kidding me? You really didn't make any?"
And so I was in the kitchen at midnight making these for Boyd so as not to ruin his Holiday Experience of Over-Indulgence. This year I planned ahead. Eat till ya' bust, Boyd!

plus a gratuitous shot of Peanut and Bubbo for your Holiday enjoyment
