Christmas baking 2007

Did some Christmas baking which I planned to give to friends, like I did 2 years ago (I made fruit cake then, which wasn't too bad). However, it didn't turn out too nice...looked nice, but didn't taste nice.

They were supposed to be some variant of snickerdoodles, but think my experimentation didn't turn out too well.

Think I should stick to more conventional stuff and casseroles.
