    We’ve reached it. The end of cookie week! And what a week it was!

    To be totally honest, I’m suffering from a bit of writer’s block today. Yesterday was a loooooong day. It was trying for me, both in the kitchen and in my mind. I’ll keep it short, I don’t want to be a Gloomy Gus all over this bright, baking space.

    However, I do want to curl up on the couch with a big mug of tea and a stack of these cookies while watching Mike & Molly reruns to remind me of Chicago and bring me thismuchcloser to being home.

    The chocolate will boost my mood and the peppermint kick might get my rear in gear. If not, at the very least it compliments a cup of strong tea nicely.

    And if you make these this Christmas, you’ll get compliments too. Trust me.
