the cookie cutters came

The repeatedly-delayed Peanuts Christmas Cookie Set finally exists. It features three cookie cutters: a very-Peanutsy Snoopy head one, an acceptably in the range christmas tree, and, well, a mitten. Accompanying them is a 48 page paperback cookbook of cookie recipes bearing names like “Woodstock’s Gingerbread Cookie Heroes”, “Spike’s Biscochitos Cut-Out Cookies”, and “It’s an Oatmeal-Raisin Cookie, Charlie Brown”. About twenty-some Christmas or cookie-themed daily strips are run on the pages, as well as plenty of spot illustrations. I cannot fully evaluate it because I have not taken the time to make the cookies; if anyone out there wants to bake them all and send me one from each batch, I will gladly do a proper review!
