I am sure if I asked you what the perfect Christmas cookie was the answer would be, whatever one you grew up eating. Christmas cookies can be a cookie you eat all year long, but if they are baked within the last two weeks of the year they become extra good. Something is sweeter, something smells better about them now. Walking into a house with them baking has to be on the top ten smells list. I can tell you that cookies I did not like as a kid are now treasured. As a kid, they were the adult cookies they had weird flavors and didn’t have chocolate chips. Now I have to have a plan to get all of them I want. You can do the kitchen helper, if you are cooking you are eating. The fly by on the way to the living room, or the ever present get up early or stay up late so no one can see me eating them. Whatever method you use just remember that New years is not far off and that resolution won’t be any easier with a few more pounds to work off. I know I will be hitting it hard come the first!
