Several years ago, I began a holiday tradition with my family. I bake them a tin of their favorite cookies, and they give me a list of their Top 10 Best Things of the Year. On Christmas day they read the list out loud, embellishing each item. One the performance is over, they get their tin of cookies.
Not only is this great fun, it makes wonderful memories. I keep all the Top 10 lists in a notebook. I never tire of walking down memory lane with the Top 10 list book.
My daughter always asks for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip. Below is the recipe I modified from my Mother's oatmeal nut cookie recipe.
