December 18 is Bake Cookies Day, which makes perfect sense
to me. With only a week to go before Christmas, what could be more natural than
filling the house with the smell of baking cinnamon, butter and chocolate? I’d
already planned to make a few dozen dinner rolls for later tonight (using half white
flour and half wheat, because they’re a little lower in gluten but still soft
and delicious). While the rolls are raising or baking in the oven, I could
easily whip up a batch or two of drop cookies such as ginger snaps or oatmeal chocolate
chip. Or I could make shaped cookies like peanut butter blossoms or chocolate
snickerdoodles. Rolled cookies like gingerbread men or Christmas sugar cookies
take a little more time and effort, but they’re totally worth it. All this talk
of cookies is making me hungry for something warm and gooey to enjoy with a
tall glass of milk!
