When we were little my mom made gifts for the holidays like breads and cookies and ornaments. My parents did not have a lot of money back then. We got gifts at Christmas from Santa but the adults got homemade gifts. Eventually things got better financially but my mom continued with the Homemade gifts. She has not done this in a few years because it's too much for her now that she is 75. In fact last Christmas I made her a batch of her favorite cookies that her mom always made and she was thrilled. She has passed he cookie recipes on to me but I haven't made a lot of them.

Good for you to make your Mom her favorite cookies!
I'm a week away from 85 and last year I realized that I couldn't do all that mixing and rolling and baking and washing up because when I make cookies it's a cookiepalooza. Usually about 12 different varieties.
One of my granddaughters said she'd like to learn how to bake all my cookies so I wrote every recipe in a nice notebook and gave it to her. She is now the official cookie maker. Last year, she did a credible job. She, like me, will get better year after year. First she needs to get over the shock of how much the ingredients cost. tee-hee.

I taught my son how to make cookies, quick breads, tarts, and pies. I seriously doubt that knowledge, experience, will ever be used, though I hope that I'm wrong.
