Christmas Cookie Bake

John's mom, Linda, started an annual cookie bake at Christmas years ago. We love it because our family and friends are very fun and they are good bakers (not a requirement, however). We use pretty much every square inch of our house, including the back porch where cold-hearty cookie bakers, Team Kifle, assembled Kifle cookies. The cookies shown here are from the last batch of cookies we made. After 20 dozen we aren't too tight on form. Conor (see picture below) decorated them like an abstract expressionist painter might. I took a picture of them because they made me think of what it would look like if Jackson Pollack met the Pillsbury Doughboy.
