Hello, friends.
Good news: final
exams are officially over! I turned my final project in
yesterday and I am now back home staying with my parents’ house for the holiday
break. I’m ready to relax, spend time with friends and family, work on some
business stuff, and bake, bake, BAKE! Growing up, a yearly tradition in my family
every Christmas Eve was to make homemade gingerbread and sugar cookies. We
would sit down at the kitchen table with a variety of different cookie cutters
lay scattered across the dark wooden surface. Flour covered every surface as if it was the fall of the season’s
first snow. Momma and I would cut cute little candy cane gingerbread and
snowman shaped sugar cookies out, while Father and Jon made anatomically
correct gingerbread men and grandma-got-run-over-by-a-reindeer sugar cookies.
We were a family divided on creative expression, but it was always a time of
laughs, jokes, and memories. That’s why when Eggland’s Best challenged
me to test/bake up twelve delicious Christmas cookie recipes, submitted by their fans, worthy of any great egg-change, I was ready for the
undertaking!
