What’s your favorite thing to bake during the holidays? (Also, I feel your pain baking injury-wisd. I have scars from baking shortbread this summer and apparently wearing too short of oven mitts.)

I have been specifically forbidden from baking my favourite things for the holidays. Last Christmas I prepared, like, rose spritz sandwich cookies with buttercream filling and chocolate brandy bundt cake and whatnot; I was thanked, then advised to stick to shortbread and brownies next time, as apparently the fancy stuff makes certain family members uncomfortable.

This sounds like the time to double the fuck down with like, idk a daqouise and tell Aunt Barbara to get on your level.
