Failed or abandoned:

• Make chocolate sandwich cookies
• Make butter gems

The cookbook I was using is usually pretty good about letting me know when a cookie recipe is fiddly. It didn't let me know with the chocolate sandwich cookies. They failed horribly. So I decided to give up on cookies and not make the butter gems. They were pretty marginal on the to do list anyway. I made more caramels instead.

Other than that, done.

Happy holidays, everyone!
