Over the next month, I will be celebrating the upcoming holiday festivities (and escaping the chaos) by baking cookies. A lot of cookies. For me, the best part about the month of December is baking and making sweets… so many sweets, in fact, that there is hardly room to store them all. During this time of year, my mom would dedicate the entire “formal” dining room as a cookie and fudge haven. All month long she would bake her butt off— right up until Christmas morning. The huge stack of dessert boxes would rival the enormous pile of gift packages… and disappear quickly. She never gave any away. Her children were just gluttons for sweets.
So, prepare to be drowned by a sea of cookie recipes all throughout the next month. If I happen to sneak in a recipe or two that is savory… it will most likely come in the form of a cookie. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving… and now on to the cookies!
