Lots of blogs around the interwebs are putting up a special little “12 days of something” for the holiday season. Giveaways, crafts, gift guides, what-have-you. I’ve never done anything like this before and it dawned on me just now (as I set the timer for the cookies in the oven) what I should do. 12 Days of Cookies! I’m sure somebody out there has thought of this before, but I’ll see if I can’t put my own snazzy leta joy spin on it. It may or may not involve jazz hands. Just sayin’.

I’m getting a bit of an early start so you’ll have time to make some of the recipes before Christmas, if you so desire. And also because I am ready for Christmas cookies. Bring on the grub! I’m sure I will regret this decision come January, but I refuse to be a slave to my scales over the holidays. PPPPBBBBBBBTTTTTTTHHHHHH!!!!!!!! (There’s no written sound effect for flipping the bird, is there?)

If you’re a lover of cookies and candy, check back in tomorrow for the first day of 12 Days of Cookies!
