12 Joys of Christmas - 6th Joy


Oh, the cookies!

For 11 months out of the year I am a savory person. I prefer salty to sweet. BUT come December, I have a HUGE Sweet Tooth. Bring on the cookies. I love Christmas cookies. Chocolate chip cookies. Peanut Butter. White Chocolate Macadamia Nut. Raspberry Thumbprints. ALL of them are targets this month. BUT, I am not a very good baker. I just am not patient/diligent enough to make it work. I am VERY easily distracted. I burn more cookies than you can possibly imagine.




BUT there is a saviour in the house. Megan has become one of the best bakers in my family. She usually makes the baked goods in the house. This year it's no different. She actually showed Melissa how to bake sugar cookies. A terrific gift in my opinion.



One of these years I'll host a cookie swap. But that's a whole other post...

Oh my gosh, I want to lick the screen with all of these delightful goodies. I apparently have your sweet tooth for the other 11 months of the year, you're welcome.

My overly ambitious plans are to make cookies this weekend, amongst putting up the tree and shopping for presents.

How terrific that Megan was taking the lead AND teaching her little sister, that's a great memory to have.

do you all make almond crescents? NOM NOM NOM

I'm drooling here:)...I like you prefer salt to sweet so I combine them when possible. Chocolate covered potato chips, pretzels, etc...Could I please borrow Megan?
