Are you ready? Four days left until Christmas and I have wrapped exactly ONE present. One. That’s it. I did all my shopping minus a couple gift cards that need to be picked up but really….no gifts have been wrapped. I promised I wouldn’t do this again, wait until the last minute to wrap EVERYTHING. But I did…and now I have a marathon wrapping session just looming and haunting me every single second of the day. I will try to get it done today or tomorrow because it’s going to rain….for like a bazillion days again. I hope Santa’s bringing me an ark because by the time Christmas gets here…I think we’re going to need it. And it will be stocked with cookies. Plenty of cookies.

I have so many cookies lying around right now from these allergy-friendly chocolate chip cookies and these gluten free peanut butter and jelly cookies that are like…OMG…I’m going to become gluten-free so I have an excuse to only eat them. But then, maybe not because these Snickerdoodles are like heaven. And now…I have these Nutella Stuffed Salted Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies from my friend Tracy. The last cookie of the year. Can you believe that? The new year starts next week and so, this is the very last cookie of 2015. So strange. But she shared the best for last and, so kindly, set aside time from building her own fashion line to bake me a batch to share with all of you.
