    6:41 for me. I’m just not very fast at these. LOL

    As to holiday treats, we decorate sugar cookies, and my dd makes turtles and my SIL makes candied pecans. We’ve never tried gingerbread cookies—not all the kids like them. 🙁

    9:31 for me. Actually, that was one of the faster times for me.

    We love to make a few types of cookies. End up freezing most to enjoy later.

    7:00, I really should ask Santa for a new mouse… mine is not made for doing puzzles in a timely manner.

    We make M&M cookies… has been a tradition since we were kids… make other cookies too.

    4:32 Fun puzzle. Thank you.

    Holiday treats? *shrugs* I don’t usually bother. I live alone and really don’t need the calories. However, I did buy the makings for chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies. Hopefully, I will share them calories!

    6:36. Holiday treats abound. I make up about 10 different types of cookies and make up cookie trays that I pass out to the neighbors. Nothing like homemade Christmas cookies!

    7:31 – I’m getting slower and slower at these puzzles. 🙂

    I haven’t done any holiday baking in several years. We don’t need the calories! 🙂

    It took me 13.05. I make divinity fudge in the winter. It doesn’t set well in the summer.

    Merry Christmas to all

    3:51 <3 We make huge batches of this to share: https://www.thespruceeats.com/chocolate-graham-toffee-bark-recipe-1807164

    We often substitute all kinds of things for the nuts–crushed candy cane and sea salt are excellent options…
