One of the obvious desserts that are made every year for Christmas are cookies. After all, Santa Claus loves this treat during his stop to your home, right? Well, over the years I take pride in baking some of the best Christmas cookies; “thumbprint cookies”, butter cookies, chocolate chip cookies, cream cheese cookies, and my Heath cookie (I call it that because it’s exactly what it tastes like!) This year when I bought the ingredients for these specific cookies, my food order came to $68.72. Since these cookies are made for special people, I do it once a year and they are amazing it’s worth it.
This year I decided to take a swing at my friend Heather’s cookie recipe for chocolate meringues. For years I have been eating this delightful cookie at her home, and I love them. Mmm. I remember her telling me, “Krysten, you already have most of the ingredients for your cookies. You can make this cookie for next to nothing.” She gave me the recipe and she was right. Why didn’t I make this cookie long ago? It was her secret, her recipe (that she later confessed found in a cookbook). It doesn’t matter where it came from, with the ingredients I had for my other cookies, I had to buy NOTHING! Now if you’;re looking for a fast and easy cookie, cheap; Here it is, cookie monster!
