Planning the Christmas cookie list

I just finished the Thanksgiving holiday baking but I'm ready for more.  I don't do a lot of baking throughout the year, but the end of the year has me wanting to bake.  I've already made truffles and peanut butter balls, not to mention chocolate covered walnuts for Thanksgiving - and made a second batch of the last two because they went so fast that some family members did not get any.  But, it is now time for the second round of baking.  I already know I want to try my hand at making lollipops - but that just didn't seem enough to celebrate the holiday.  It also gives me something to share with friends.

A cookie a week through the end of December doesn't sound that bad -- but I was thinking about doing the twelve days of cookies.  I'm not sure I will do it in this order, but here is the list of cookies I could make:

1 - Spritzer
2 - No Bake
3 - Chocolate Chip
4 - Snickerdoodles
5 - Sugar
6 - Pumpkin Chocolate Chip
7 - White Chocolate Macadamia
8 - Gingerbread
9 - Pizzelles
10 - Pepparkakor
11 - Shortbread
12 - Oatmeal

Wish me luck. By the end of this I may be wanting more -- or I may be done until next Christmas.  We'll see.
