At this time of the year my wife Mary Jane is transformed into a full-time cookie and bread baker. The photo above shows the method she uses to create presents for friends and business associates–gift platters rather than baskets. This one contains Pecan Dreams, Pumpkin Bread, Chocolate Shortbread Cookies, Pecan Shortbread Cookies, and Praline Crisps. Often she drafts me as the official cookie taster–hey, somebody has to do it.
