I Couldn't Help Myself...

I had to share this with you guys. Something happened tonight. When I stopped at the store for a few dinner items, I couldn't help myself...

I bought my first Holiday Cookie magazine! I don't officially recognize Christmas until the ride home from my aunt's house on Thanksgiving night when I force Shaun to partake in a Christmas carol sing-a-long for the hour long drive. But I saw this gorgeous glossy and the next thing I knew, it was in my shopping bag. I don't know how that happened.

Mom, if you are reading this, I know you are saying, Why did you buy that? Do you know how many cookie books and magazines I have here?       (Am I right? Say it. I know I'm right).

I couldn't help myself. I think I caught holiday excitement overload.

Ummm... I believe those are "chocolate snowflakes" on the cover, so you are allowed... (I usually succumb to at least one glossy holiday magazine...like there aren't more holiday recipes than I could ever read on all the wonderful blogs out there...) So... are you gonna blog some of those treats???

So every year I looked foward to buying the Better Homes and Gardens cookie book. I had years of them. I started noticing that the cookies seemed the same. So I went back and looked at the books. It seemed that they kept recycling them. So sad.

This book is America's Test Kitchen - it seemed to have some new and interesting recipes! Can't wait to try some for Christmas
