me want some cookies

my big family cookie exchange is saturday

and i'm so excited!

i haven't participated in the actual

exchanging of cookies in a couple years

because i don't really need 8 dozen cookies at my house.

normally i just take home the candies we make that day

and call it a year.

but with two girls and a pending party at my house

i thought i should actually partake this year.

my family is graciously letting me do the exchange,

but cut in half.

instead of baking a dozen cookies for everyone,

i'm only doing half dozens and that's what i'll get in return.

its a lot more manageable for me and it will

help me avoid eating a few dozen cookies over the next month.

added all up i'll need to get three dozen cookies pounded out.

i'm gonna be one baking son of a bitch on thursday.

hopefully the girls cooperate.

last time i did the exchange i made monster cookies.

they are seriously good.

and the time before that i did crappy sugar cookies,

but with good cause.

this year i had an idea to do s'more cookies.

i found a recipe that seems pretty easy,

so i'm going to try it out.

i'm hoping they're a hit.

 

here's the recipe:

make your normal chocolate chip cookie dough.

crumble up a cup of graham cracker.

cut 6 marshmallows in half.

add 3/4 cup of your graham cracker to your cookie dough.

take your 1/2 marshmallow and roll your dough around it.

then roll your ball in the remaining graham cracker crumbles.

bake at 350 for 12 - 15 minutes.

now i just have to do this times three.

wish me luck!
