Christmas Cookie Exchange
I've been baking test cookies for the upcoming Christmas cookie exchange (note to siblings: I am taking this VERY seriously). This batch didn't make the cut. Tasty, but just not good enough. The recipe is for "trios" from Epicurious. The cookie is a cross between a sugar cookie and shortbread--sugary, buttery, and crumbly--and it's filled with cherry, blackberry, and apricot jam.

Are you sure those cookies don't make the cut? I think I'm going to need to taste test to provide a final verdict.
There needs to be a cookie-making handicap. For example, if you have an infant, all you need to do is bake cookies without burning them. If your "job" involves teaching two classes a semester, being semi-sober for office hours, and the same old tired baking soda and vinegar trick every day, you need to do something really special.
Yeah, I am off work for, let me think about it...oh yeah, the next SIX WEEKS.
if we're going with handicaps, i think i should get the ULTIMATE one. my husband works 12-hour nights, i have an 3 month-old, and i'm in nursing school. i should be able to bring oreos and still win. matter of fact, i should just send you a link to www.nabiscoworld.com and win. there, i just won.
Jimmy, that's uncalled for. The life of a geology professor is not something anyone would wish for, but Matt is doing what he has to do. And there's some honor in that.
