The Baking Pure & Simple Holiday Cookie Baking Marathon

About this ebook
Let the Marathon begin! Every year, right after Thanksgiving, while everyone else is out struggling for parking spaces at the mall or fighting over limited quantity bargain gifts, I begin my Holiday Cookie Marathon in the relative safety of my kitchen.
I spend each weekend making 3 or 4 batches of cookies, storing them in air tight plastic freezer bags in the freezer and logging my progress into a spreadsheet. Yes, I am a nerd. After 4 weekends or a few evenings a week baking a few batches of cookies I have close to 70 dozen carefully stored and frozen holiday cookies, enough for 30 or so assorted tins of 2 dozen each to give away and also plenty for several bountiful platters of cookies to share at holiday gatherings.
Now, I am sharing my method of organizing the baking over the course of a month and all the recipes I include on a regular basis in my holiday tins, as well as how I go about preparing the tins for distribution. If you love to bake and you love to share your homemade goodies with your friends and family during the holidays, then you will enjoy this guide to mastering your own holiday cookie baking marathon.
I include the Gluten-Free baking mix which can be substituted for flour in most of the recipes. Several of the recipes are naturally gluten-free and are marked as such. The Holiday Cookie Baking Marathon was originally part of my book Baking Pure & Simple, but now you can purchase this expanded version which includes shopping lists and a revised baking schedule on its own as an eBook. I hope you will enjoy getting crazy in your kitchen with the cookies!

I had a passion for baking at a very young age. After attaining my bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Michigan, I studied the Culinary Arts at Schoolcraft College in Livonia, MI. I have also studied the Fine Arts at Eastern Michigan University. After working in the Culiary Arts as a pastry chef for Weber's Inn in Ann Arbor, MI and teaching advanced pastry classes at Washtenaw Community College, I moved into event planning and professionally planned and executed events in the private and academic sectors, everything from weddings to graduation ceremonies. Most recently I was the Director of the Michigan Engineering Fund, raising money for the U-M College of Engineering. I am now publishing eBooks and working on programs in personal self-development, helping people realize their true purpose and maximizing their potential for happiness.
