I’m late for the 12 Days of Christmas Treats with Brooke at Crackers on the Couch! My schedule has quickly become busy because I finally got a job. Hooray! But sorry for the delay…
I’m a day behind but I will catch up–I promise.
In the meantime, check out these cookies over at Brooke’s place. I took her recipe and made them gluten, egg, and dairy-free. Good grief, these are THE best chocolate chip cookies to date. Make these for Santa please. He called me and sent in a request.

at christmas time, my mom, brother, and i always made chocolate chip cookies. in fact, i think it’s the only cookies we ever made. i loved them and couldn’t help eating the raw dough. these cookies take my back…

I think I ate 1/2 of the dough while making these myself… That’s the best part of baking without eggs: knowing that you won’t get sick, right?!

Such great news about the job Cara. Well done you! Blimey, talk about starting at a busy time of the year.
Glutton for punishment and all that…
These biscuits look amaaazing. I’m sitting here wondering if I can make a batch right now before going to collect the children from school. THAT’S how good they look.
Thanks for sharing. xx

Thank you Nina! I know, it’s been rather a difficult time to soak in all of the information for the job-so much to learn! But I’m extremely grateful for a paycheck–now I can afford presents

I was just composing an email in my head to see if I could winnow out the details of your existence. Job + Chocolate Chip Cookies. Does life get any better than this? Oh, and tell Jenn to wipe that chocolate off her face.
