I can relate. I used to knock myself out making all different kinds of cookies for Christmas when my boys were small. At least 8 or 10 different kinds. I had so many I gave them away as gifts too. Everyone seemed to like them. One time my husband (who isn’t really into sweets anyway) took one look at my cookie tray and said, “You never make anything I like”.
