Two weekends done, and four batches of cookies are baked and in the freezer as we speak.
The first two batches of cookies were the chocolate chip and Italian Christmas cookies. No issues with them at all.
this weekend, however, the cookies decided to throw a monkey wrench into our plans.

Today we made our pumpkin spice and peppermint stars and candy canes.
The pumpkin spice cookies were supposed to be in the oven for 15 minutes, but we tested the first batch, and they were just starting to burn at the 10 minute mark. Thankfully, we caught this and saved that batch, but that meant the rest of the cookies had to be baked at 10 minutes. Then, for some reason, the last batch decided to burn at 10 minutes, so we had to toss out about 20 cookies. Thankfully, we made a large batch of dough, so they won't be missed.
Then, the dough for the peppermint cookies decided to get sticky, despite being in the fridge overnight. So we had to keep flouring the baking mat we were rolling the dough on, so we could get them off the mat and onto the baking sheets.
I'm thinking that the thermometer on mom's oven is off, so we lowered the temp of the oven, and monitored them closely, and thankfully we didn't lose any of those.
