Hey all you Ho Ho Hos! Tis the season and other jazz. In my household we are big on the homemade Christmas (to the disapointment of some and delight of others. Every year I com eup with a new theme and we go all out in that direction. However one staple of Christmas is cookies. My family does a Cookie Extravaganze where all the women in the family (That's right my extended family upholds gender roles) get together and each make a specific cookie. Then we mix and match till everyone has a good mixture for their presents. However I couldn't make it this year (DAMN SWIM TEAM!). Which means I have been busy all day baking yummy cookies. I asked my daughter what cookies we should make and of course her response was "Santa's favorite cookies!"


For those of you who are wondering what Santa's fav cookies are you obviously don't have the best Christmas book ever! Let me get you hip!


The Santa Claus Book is the most correct book on Santa and is the only one authorized by Santa himself. It answers just about every question you might have about Santa thanks to the author Alden Perkes, Ph.D.S. (Ph.D in Santa)who spent most of a year with Santa at the North Pole learning what happens all year round with the big guy and his elves. The Book covers everything from Where Santa Came From, Why Santa Lives So Long, Santa's Garden, Why Rudolph's nose is Red (The Real Story), How the Elves first met Santa and many many many more! It is simply the most delightful book I have ever owned. I have had it since I was a kid and am very happy to pass it on to my daughter. Anyway, as you can probably guess one of the chapters is Satna's Favorite Treat which is where we got our receipe for Santa's Fav Cookies.

Now I can't share these yummy cookies with you virtually, I can share with you the pages. So I hope you enjoy! The receipe came straight from Mrs. Claus who also include the conversion for regular ingredients for those who don't have some of the speicality North Pole ingredients. I hope you enjoy!
