Hmm... it occurs to me that I may need to relocate said plate of cookies tomorrow, so I can put my vise there and get my Achilles rebuilt; been procrastinating it for a week, but it's time.

They look delicious
My wife and I have been baking since late October. She's into all kinds of cookies, cake and other really neat stuff for Christmas, which I've never done before. I got into it this year with shortbread cookies which I really like. I've gone through six pounds of butter now , but we gift them as presents too which is neat.
