I kept my word and here they are……peanut butter and
Nutella cookies. Do you know what you get when you put two things together that
taste good enough simply on a spoon? You get an empty plate, duh! Or in my
case, a batch of Holiday cookies destined for some cool people.
I love giving food gifts. The
look on people’s faces when you hand them a hand-wrapped bundle of goodies
straight from your kitchen is one of those gifts that truly exemplifies the
phrase, “some things money can’t buy”. Now I know money has to buy the
ingredients and all but you get what I mean. I’d take a batch of these over a
lotion set any day, wouldn’t you? Brownies
or patterned socks, no brainer! But to that I realize not all of us are culinary-inclined
or free enough to make cookies from scratch or anything for that matter to give
away. And so it for those people that my dry hands and cold feet, not my belly,
thank you! Enjoy…
