Yup, here’s another cookie recipe.  What will I do with all my time in the kitchen once the baking season is over?  Oh right, January 1st is right around the corner… green smoothies.  Honestly, I could use the detox right now but I’m having way too much fun with my cookie fest. These cookies happen to be my favorite cookie that I’ve baked this holiday season.  And they’re not chocolate?!  Well, they have little bits of chocolate in them, so maybe it counts.  😉 These cookies are like a mix of a shortbread and sugar cookie.  Mmm, buttery and sugar goodness.  You can even …

Cookies, cookies, cookies.  It’s all cookies all the time.  Are you sick of seeing them yet?  Of course you aren’t.  What a silly question.

These cookies are a great example of how everything can go wrong in a matter of minutes.  Okay, I’m being a bit dramatic, but when you follow the recipe and end up with sewer cap sized cookies instead of what you expected you get …
