On the 8th day of Christmas this is what the Cramers did: attempt to make gourmet cookies.

So they don’t look exactly like the photo of inspiration from BH&G and I have yet to try them, but husband thinks they’re quite delicious and I think they look uniquely festive.

Toasting the almonds. Yes, that's the apron from his high school job. Yes, he always cooks with a towel over his shoulder. I find it adorable.

I have a feeling I'll be sending a plate of these to work with Steven.
