Cookies!

The holidays have officially started - our tree is up, home is decorated, amaryllis is in full bloom, and I kicked off the 2011 holiday cookie extravaganza with these (actually a very similar recipe from Heidi's book that adds peanuts and popcorn). I know holiday cookies are not supposed to be healthy, and I will progress to more unhealthy recipes in the coming weeks. But I needed to start slow people, I cannot handle a month of unhealthy cookies in my house. Anywho, these are good, but the dough is pretty loose, and we found that they fall apart easily. Not great for traveling, but still great for eating.
