My precious little Mama and I used to make goodie trays every year at Christmas to give to the Drs we worked with as well as friends and neighbors. We usually gave away around 25 trays every year. We included a homemade cheese ball in the middle of the tray and surrounded it with at least 6-8 different kinds of cookies and candies and we also included a couple sleeves of crackers for the cheese ball in. I carried the tradition on for several years after she passed away until I just wasn’t able to do it anymore. A lot of people don’t realize not only the amount of time it takes to make all these things as well as the expense. We enjoyed going around passing them out as much as we did making everything. Oh how I miss my little Mama and spending time with her n the kitchen during the holidays.💗

[@margaretbeard6564]

[@rascal8754]

Seriously, I wish there was a triple Ike button. I so look forward to all your videos. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.

[@ACharmingAbode]

@@rascal8754 thanks for making me smile 😊 💕

[@hollymiranda0826]

I couldn’t agree more!!!!

[@rascal8754]

@@ACharmingAbode do you think adding chocolate chips to the pumpkin bread would be a good idea

[@ACharmingAbode]

@@rascal8754 I added chocolate chips to mine in this video! Yes, it’s a winner!

[@leyley1970]

My husband can not have seeds or nuts.. he has diverticulitis.. they say that it is not the cause for an inflammation attack.. but it is for him

[@ndgrandma1818]

Leslie, you are a ray of sunshine! Just want to let you know I love your videos, mostly because you are such a beautiful, sweet, talented lady! May you,Jason, and your family have a very Merry Christmas!

[@loribarton7480]

Omgosh… the chocolate crinkles are my favorite. I use my mama’s recipe. But I have not made any of the others. I think I’ll be trying out a few of those. Great video! ❤

[@janhaley1212]

I’m a major cookie baker. My very favorite cookie is a cranberry pinwheel cookie. These are frozen after you make the pinwheel log. If you have company just slice some and bake. My family decorates Christmas cookies on Christmas Eve day. I have all the cookies made and the frosting. It’s so much fun. Then everyone takes a big plate home. My oldest daughter is the real baker/decorator. We had a gingerbread house kit leftover from Christmas. She put it together and it was amazing. She took it to our town’s senior citizens center. They used it for the Valentine’s luncheon decoration. I’ve had so many cookie parties over the years. Co-workers and friends brought their kids over. I had 10 girls from my daughter’s 6th grade class once. It’s never ending. I love cookies!

[@MarleyAngell]

Oh my goodness! Now I want cookies.😋. Everything looks delicious!

[@susylowder5600]

Thank you so much for sharing these recipes! They looked beautiful when they were all put on a platter. The ones with the jam filling looked so good! I’ll be trying some of these for sure. ❤

[@juniper4915]

Cute little pup.

[@cathystiegelmeier4022]

One batch of each of these and my goodie trays are ready!

[@theblueelk5115]

Aw3some video. I watched it when you firs5 uploaded, and no2 have come back a week later. I had it running when I made the peanut candy and chocolate crackles, so I guess we baked together! Thank you! ~Lori

[@MiltonsFinest]

[@treasureslayer3049]

Leslie I’m going to make all of these. I’m especially excited about the crockpot one, I’ve never used what you used. I hope you can take some time to relax and enjoy some family time.

[@kimmie-kat]

Yeah if someone has Diverticulitis then seeds can cause them problems, so great tip! Those raspberry thumbprint cookies are my favorite!

[@lr9152]

Just fyi, I have diverticulitis and my Dr said that's not true. That's what they used to think but not anymore.

[@msbeaverhausen7226]

Everything looks delicious!!! Your family is so lucky to have such a wonderful cook and baker🤗🤗

[@pamelaronzheimer1618]

What a fun selection of Christmas treats! Yums!!!😋 I look forward to baking these recipes. Blessings for your week Leslie! Hugs 🥰 and prayers.

[@fawnjenkins7266]

Now I want to make some treats! 😂❤ Especially the thumprint cookies. They remind me of a dear family friend who we lost a few years ago. They were his favorite to make with his mother as a child. He told us that when my kids and I were making them together the first time. 😊❤ Now I am in the mood to make all of these!

[@lindacrews9340]

All of your recipes I make are delicious! I have to make myself let my son and husband eat most of it 😅. I appreciate that they are so easy to make. I love visiting with you via your videos. Have a wonderful week and tell Jason Hi 🙋‍♀️. ❤

[@ashleycopper]

I make chocolate crinkle cookies every year for my cookie boxes I do for neighbors. A couple years ago I found a gingerbread crinkle cookie recipe on pinterest and it is a must make every year. My 4 year old son even informed me the other day that they are his favorite.

Mmmmmm... Pumpkin loaves.... I would add cranberries to the batter, though chocolate chips are good too as long as they're the 50 percent or more cocoa dark variety.

[@ACharmingAbode]

That’s awesome 👏 Thank you!

[@StannaMcDougal]

Thank you for the recipes and the great hints.

[@hazelsart4741]

Thanks for the great ideas! I was looking for some new baking recipes for Christmas this year. You have given me all I need in one video. Amazing! Merry Christmas! EDIT December 4: I made 3 of the goodies today for a function we are attending tonight. Since I am gluten free all my baking has to be something I can eat. The peanut clusters are easy to make gf and they are delicious! I couldn't find the almond bark here in Canada, so I just used white chocolate bars. The chocolate crinkle cookies are amazing and all i did was swap out the regular flour with my custom mix of gluten free AP flour. Everyone loves them, even those who are not gluten intolerant! Now, about the Thumbprint cookies. Alas, it is sad. lol They were a massive fail with the gf flour. I will try them again making some adjustments to the type of gf flour I use. Thanks again for the inspiration and motivation I needed to get this baking done! It was easy and I just kept your video up on my laptop on the kitchen counter. Love your positive attitude and laugh!

[@tammyschrader6210]
