After Thanksgiving, The Baking Begins!
One of the things that I do each year is give fresh-baked goodies to friends and co-workers.
For a few years in a row, my sister Gayla would bake extra goodies for me to give for Christmas, but for the past 2 years now, I have been doing it myself.
I use a chocolate chip - oatmeal recipe that has been in my family for a number of years. This recipe makes an almost crunchy cookie; it is definitely closer to crunchy than it is to gooey/chewy.
I haven't had any complaints about the cookies yet. Who knows, if you've been good this year, you might just end up on the "Nice" list and get yourself a tub of my cookies!
