[quote=Anonymous]OP's husband's aunt isn't making these cookies solely for her nephew's family. She likely makes a range of different cookies and assembles platters of them and gives them away to various people as holiday gifts. It's extremely unlikely she's making these cookies only for OP's family and sending them most of the cookies. And she'll have plenty at home for herself too.

In other words, there is no need to feel guilty throwing away the cookies if the family doesn't want to eat them. I'd wait until after the holidays in case she happens to drop by. You can crumble the cookies and toss them in your garden for the birds.

If you do like the cookies but only want a few at a time, freezing them is a good idea. If you don't care for the cookies, once again there's no shame or guilt in quietly disposing of them. A lot of cookies are too sweet and we live in a time of sugar overload all year long that unfortunately does take away some of the old Christmas baking mystique.

But telling the aunt no more cookies because you don't want to eat them is a bit of a slap to the face. Let it go. Be gracious.
