I’m designating December as cookie month. Denise and I started a tradition of baking Christmas cookies together back when we lived together in our tiny apartment on Park Drive, possibly even earlier than that. And before that, baking Christmas cookies was always an annual tradition with my mom. It wasn’t until fairly recently that I realized that my favorite M&M cookies can actually be made any time of year, not just at Christmas.
Every year we try to calculate how much of each ingredient we will need, but inevitably end up running out to the store to pick up something we ran out of or forgot. Last year we got smart(er) and wrote down the list of ingredients we need for eight batches of cookies. Yes, eight batches of cookies.

Last year we also welcomed a new member of the baking team, the KitchenAid mixer. A-mazing.

The cookie marathon this year is taking place on December 8, so let me know if you have any requests! And throughout this month I’ll be sharing cookie recipes.
