While I STILL haven't even started shopping....well not entirely true. I have Anissa's present. Anyway, gifts for the masses, i.e coworkers, neighbors, surprise pop in guests are pretty easy to tackle. While baking isn't my thing, these Lump O Coal Chocolate Crinkly Cookies, make great presents to those person's listed above. I like to call these crack cookies. Not only do they have the fissures to match but they are as addictive as the street drug with the same name. I have a label punch and I used return address stickers to make the cute Naughty tag. I mean they are lumps of coal. Let's face it, we have probably all done something this year that would land us on Santa's Naughty List. The batch will yield 50 cookies! Enjoy, I know Shane and I did!
