Like I mentioned in my previous post, my mom, my sister and I set a date for our “Annual Marathon Christmas Cookie Baking Day” and I’ve already dog-eared some of my favorites and pinned some new ones to try on Pinterest.
Like any marathon, a baking marathon requires some training to ensure a peak performance or PB (personal best). I made this “test batch” of Oatmeal Craisin White Chocolate Chip Cookies as a gift for my Suncoast Strider friends and they came out perfect! Of course, when Iron Chef Allan tastes them, he’ll tell me how to improve them ask me why I didn’t make a batch for him and the girls.
I better start baking another batch before he gets home before I eat them all. I need all the “training” I can get.

2/3 cup butter
