The Cookies and the Monsters

"Never let Christmas pass without baking a cookie or two for the people dearest to you." -PuFF

Yes that's me. I don't buy gifts because i suck in those. I personally prefer to slave away in the kitchen doing what i love most rather than lose my way inside an overcrowded mall for some hopeless attempt to find something that could at least pass on as a gift.

I am a cookie amateur. Sort of a late-bloomer if i may say so because i never got around to baking cookies that looks like one until last year. And so to formally lay the ground, i've decided to make a cookie career out of the holidays and give it away as gifts for friends and the family of course.

James (the older monster) was my volunteer. The only problem was that i have to keep a close watch on the dough lest he will devour half of it even before it find its way in the oven. The boys didn't go anywhere the whole time i was baking. Frankly, they look like vultures closely studying how they will attack their prey.

I was able to bake three types of cookie found here, here, and here.

My very own white Christmas. "White Chocolate Chip- Oatmeal Cookies"

Ginger Stack-O!- Big Soft Ginger Cookies

Falling in line has never been this chocolatey!- "Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies"

My personal favorite is the White Chocolate-chip Oatmeal cookies, while the monsters raved over the Chocolate Chocolate Chip. The Ginger Cookies came out as a surprise since i was not really expecting it to be good enough to make the monsters want to eat it.

Boys will be boys and monsters will be monsters. Inasmuch as i want to avoid it, i was left with no choice but to exhaust the remaining strength that i have to keep them at bay and save my poor baby cookies from being massacred completely.
