This year, I have been baking away, and in order to keep our waistlines in check, I have been spreading holiday cheer at the Chevron office. It's a win-win. I get to fulfill my baking desires, taste the lovely creations, then send the majority of them to the office. Nothing says, Happy Holidays better, (sorry you are at work) than a tasty treat to make your day a tad bit better! :)

| Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip (I was going to make Peanut Butter Blossoms, but I could not find the perfect substitute for a Hershey Kiss) |
 |
| If you want to be technical, these are not a cookie. The Russian version of Oreo balls, without Oreos. Never made it to the office. I only made a very small batch to see if they would actually turn out. They were delicious, and consumed very quickly. |
 |
| Chewy Cranberry White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies A woman on the team had a "Sweep Swap" party. I learned it is very popular in the Southern States. Everyone brings cookies to the party, and then you swap, so you go home with a variety of cookies. |
 |
| If I had to award a grand prize, these would win. Hot Cocoa Cookies. Only possible, thanks to "A True American Tradition" see earlier blog post. |

| Picture taken at sunset during one of my cookie baking episodes. I thought the peaks of snow on the mountains with the clouds were quite nice. Our city is currently covered in a sheet of ice. I have been told that not much snow falls, but ice is very common. Last year, I was in the States for the majority of the winter season. This year, I will get to experience all the "loveliness" of the Russian winter. |
It's the most wonderful time of the year....
