This year we created a monster tradition. Every couple chose their top 3 cookies that they can't face the holidays without, and then we all arrived at 9am (more like 10am for us) on Adam's birthday and began the great cookie bake off of 2014. It's the first annual CookieCon.
When Adam and I arrived, a little sleepy from the night before, Erika was pulling the first batch of cookies from the oven. spiced molasses, sugar, and butter scented the air. With Spiced Molasses Cookies from Cook's Illustrated done, there were only twelve recipes to go.

It feels like Christmas is here before Thanksgiving, but that seems fitting considering Buffalo, NY has more snow on the ground than we do. In contrast, what seems perfectly right is spending a day baking cookies and celebrating Adam's Birthday with our big family. We miss you Laura and Shane. Happy Birthday my love.
