This year's cookie tin
Finally the holiday whirlwind is over and I have a minute to myself 😉. I only had enough time for two new cookies this season (plus my mom's standby sugar cookies) and I didn't stop to take pictures of either. Plus I'm still figuring out logistical issues. I'll get to it soon.
So this year I went with these oatmeal cookies--baked for Santa, the elves, and everyone else. I thought oatmeal cookies were in order following the busyness of the move, but these were a little sweeter than I wanted. Everyone else devoured them, though.
And speaking of devouring, what screams "Christmas cookie" like a mint chocolate chip cookie? The cookie itself tastes like--and I mean this in the best way--you scooped it out of a tube of Pillsbury dough. The mint chocolate chips just take it over the top. I couldn't find the green-and-chocolate Nestle chips as pictured, so I used Hershey's instead (same mint, all one color). These would probably make awesome ice cream sandwiches, too.

New year, new cereals! It looks like there's some peach and cinnamon coming to stores in 2018...
