We had 9 bakers and a dishwasher helper! Great time had by all.

Linda handled the oven, Ose was the main baker's elf - handled the cookie cooling and transfer to holding pans.

Lunch was Chicken soup and sandwiches and a number of sides.

Busy day! Lots of yummy treats.

Instead of getting together at Connie's house as we have for the last 10 years or so - we went virtual.

Date was chosen on a weekend Connie and Samantha were not working - unfortunately they were unable to attend.

Boug created a Facebook group for Cookie day  - Private - drop a line and we can send an invite - a few weeks in advance. Zoom would only give us a 40 minute or so window. FB allowed us to be on unlimited. I counted about 15 people stopping in and chatting or staying on with the camera pointed toward their cooking areas. 

Many others posted recipes, discussed ideas, shared links. 

Some baked cookies, others bread or candy, some just said hello!  It was early for many to do holiday baking. And many may not have an outlet for lots of baked items.  All in all - it was a sharing of a simple family tradition. Our own family holiday.

Friday night, I tested out the Room link and good thing too as I had to download a different browser. Vicki and I were doing various refrigerator recipes from our own homes.

I think the overall opinion was - there is something so helpful about working from your own kitchen - especially for those of us who love cooking. Us with small galley kitchens, well, we are used to them. Just made us use other rooms of the house. The virtual aspect helped a lot! Kept all of us feeling we were with others. Helped when we had questions - a shout out to other bakers always brought an answer of some sort. Being able to pop in and out - kept it lively.

Special shout out to Cari and her quiz questions! I did not know we needed to study for this - but we all learned some history. Heck - I didn't even realize 2017 was our biggest year ever at 44 varieties.

I'll end up updating this blog post as I receive info from the bakers on what was made and the recipes.  Thanks for playing this year - I hope all your yummies turn out great!

Cookie Day 2019 Results re-post

https://joules-cookieday.blogspot.com/2008/12/german-springerle.htmlWe survived another year!
Checking the blog, it turns out this was the 10 year anniversary for Cookie day at Connie's house.
2008 was last time we baked at Boug's

A total of thirteen people came and baked, making from 1 recipe to 9 different recipes

Friday - Con, Boug, Vic and Dom hit Lassen's for dinner, then back to make refrigerator doughs.
Samantha, Zack and Zander arrived around 10 and helped before bed around midnight to 1am.

Saturday:
Vic and I ran to get some last important supplies (parchment paper! and a box of Joe) got back made breakfast and started the ovens at 10am

Unfortunately, our favorite oven Elf Eric could not make it this year.

Ose arrived at 9:53 - followed closely by Cari around 10am.
Later - after Ose and Cari left, Sandi arrived (complete with cast on her left arm - amazing that you can still glove up over a cast!) and finally Marianne, Andrea and the twins - Sammy and Skylar.
Final Batch was pulled out of the oven around 1:30am on Sunday Morning.

Sunday - Con, Boug, Dom, Vic and Zander hit breakfast before cleaning up and putting the house back to order.
Cari, that over achiever, made another batch at home!! And I made a Shortbread, gluten free - almond flour - on Monday.

We made 31 different varieties this year between Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Eric, our favorite Kitchen elf helped tremendously doing oven and cooling rack duty.

A few of our best bakers were out due to colds or other duties - we missed them tremendously! Smaller group than usual but great cookies abounded still. Total was 35 cookies - and still searching out recipes. (couple we didn't get from the bakers.)
