Thank you for sharing this delectable fun-to-say cookie recipe with us despite your tight schedule, Chef! So relate to that ‘not-perfect-enough’-isms. Feeling like every project is half done, and running out of time - feelings. Rest assured, we always make it. May this holiday season bring delicious joy and connection for you, and those around you!!
And thank you, Aki, for being part of my Substack year. I can’t wait to see what you bring to 2026’s table. Happy holidays! If you are working, I hope you get a breather to take in the wonder.
Love this sentiment Janet. And as a perfectionist over achiever, one I need to hear on occasion! Sometimes, a slather of royal icing and sprinkles on a cookie does the job just fine! They sound absolutely delicious, what a treat. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and hoping your catering events go well! 🎁🎄
Thank you so much, Shell. This has been a whirlwind season and I need to simply plan better for next year. Yes, more nights with only four hours of sleep. Yes, that’s it. HA! Happy Christmas!
Dear NF—What a lovely and thoughtful comment, and I appreciate you taking the time to read so deeply. There are many reasons why this is my favorite cookie, but these aren’t for wimps.
