Mama Hebrew Hammer's Christmas Cookie Extravaganza!

Every year my mom makes like a thousand cookies and naturally I have to test each batch to make sure them come out right.  Here's the final product for this year.

Chocolate chip: 11/10

Double chocolate chip: 11/10

Snickerdoodles: 11/10

Magic squares: 11/10

Chocolate chip with nuts: 11/10

Tassies: 11/10

Spritz cookies: 11/10

Lemon bars: 11/10

Chocolate mint chip: 11/10

Did I dunk any of these in milk?  No way.  Do you print out the Mona Lisa on your home computer and hang it on your wall?  You don't mess with art, you monkeys.
That's 9 batches of cookies which each got an 11.  That means my mom's cookies combine for a score of 99/10, completely blowing Godiva out of the water.  Merry Christmas to me!

Bonus review:  The Italian lady next door bakes her own cookies.  We trade cookies which naturally means I have to taste test hers as well.
Some sort of sugared dough bowtie (on the left): 10/10
Chocolate ravioli cookie (top right): 10/10
Homemade candied sugar balls (bottom right): 10/10

Apparently they all have proper Italian names.  I'm not a good Italian I guess.  Although I am a good eater.
