I am doing a happy dance tonight because we just ordered a new refrigerator! I am super stoked. It's so much bigger than the one we have now, and the freezer is on the bottom. It'll be nice to not have to squat to get things out of the fridge. Plus, since we are getting this new one, we will have a refrigerator in the garage now. No more having to borrow space in other people's fridges and freezers. Things are looking up for this holiday baking season!
Anyway, these cookies. People love these. It's a spiced cookie that has chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and toffee pieces in it. They're soft, chewy, and have a great blend of flavors. While these aren't my personal favorites (because I'm not a big butterscotch fan), I know a lot of people who absolutely love them. I always make a huge batch of them over the holidays. Cookies are one of my favorite things to bake, so I'm looking forward to sharing a lot of cookie recipes with you guys in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
