Cookies. Sounds simple. When the lady from the retirement home (that’s the politically correct name for it these days right?) called and asked if we’d be willing to bake cookies again for the holiday party, we said yes. Last year, we baked cookies for the Christmas party they have each year. This year we did Thanksgiving and now again Christmas. Chocolate chip and peanut butter, regular and sugarless. Non-sugar? What’s the correct term? Anyway, spent last night baking endless cookies, dozens and dozens and we are not done yet. Did you know that you can buy sugar-free brown sugar? Well you can. It’s costly, just as the sugar-free sugar is more costly, but we do not need to make as many sugar free (that’s the term!) cookies as regular. We have a killer chocolate chip cookie recipe. Hope we still feel like making some for the holidays after all this baking. But it feels good to help someone else out. Give back a little.
