Elsa’s favorite things about this time of year are hoodies and alone time under the tree.
Yesterday I made four kinds of cookies. I’d never done something like that before. It wasn’t as confusing as I thought it would be! I tried two new recipes that are absolute bangers: Deb Perelmen’s Rosemary/Chocolate/Olive oil shortbread and these Miso-almond butter miracles.

Happy December 23rd to all of you. I hope you come across something nice on the sidewalk soon, or eat an especially good cookie.
