These cookies are major. I mean MAJOR. Chocolate, intense, salty, crazy cookies. I understand why the recipe book they came from is called Cookie Love.

I love my little koala bear and he keeps me pretty busy. I’m pretty much on my feet running around taking care of his laundry, endlessly putting his pacifier back in his mouth or keeping the house clean. We do spend a ton of time on the sofa watching Netflix while I feed him. I have watched every single episode of American Dad and I’m currently on House.

I tried to squeeze in one more cake for 2014 but it was not meant to be! I made the chocolate chip cake from The Back in the Day cookbook but I don’t own a 9×13 baking pan so I thought I would be clever and used my bundt tin.

Christmas has snuck up on me really fast this year! I didn’t get nearly as much baking done as I wanted to. I found it hard to stand on my feet for more than a few hours at a time. I don’t want to end up with pregnancy cankles :-p

My mom used to make batches of fudge every Christmas along with tons of Christmas cookies. She’d spend one day making everything and put the boxes of cookies in the freezer to keep us going all month long. We used to play family games at night and have milk and cookies. For some reason I haven’t made fudge very often!
