All for our families, not each other yet, bought, on my part at least, but not wrapped.The nativity is up.
My reindeer from my grandpa it out.
He made them for his daughters and already born granddaughters when I was 2, so not all of us have them as he died 2 years later and never got around to make more.And a few cookies have finally made it past the dough stage.

4oz unsweetened baking chocolate
1/2 C Shortening
2 C Sugar
2 tsp Vanilla
4 Eggs
2 C Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 C Confectioners Sugar
Directions-
Melt chocolate and shortening together in a double boiler, or microwave. (in microwave, melt chocolate 1 minute, then add shortening, stir and heat 1 more minute.)
Pour into medium mixing bowl. Add sugar, Vanilla and Eggs, beat well.
