I know it feels like a lot of work in the middle of December,
but this year's Christmas Cookie exchange saved me!
The idea (though it may never work like this)
12 friends
12 DOZEN cookies EACH, pre packaged for you to take home
You take home 144 cookies (12 different types) and make plates for your neighbors!
How fun is that!
This year I made
Orange Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies
½ cup butter (1 cube)
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
½ tsp. vanilla
3 tsp. grated orange rind
½ package semisweet chocolate chips
½ tsp soda
2/3 cup flour
½ tsp salt
1 ½ cup whole oats
½ cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients in order. Spoon into 1 inch dough balls onto an un-greased cookie sheet. Bake for 9-10 minutes. *Remember these are not your normal cake-like cookie, they are a lacey looking cookie that will be pretty flat.
Makes around 2 dozen.
