Nothing takes a toll on my chocolate chip cookie stash like the holidays.  Whether the hungry family is visiting, or I’m snacking between gift wrappings, my cookies seem to collectively vanish into a tasty oblivion.

Because if the dinner table conversation gets out of control, and the relatives get excited, and all else fails…. you can always fight them off with a good chocolate chip cookie.
