usually make a lot of cookies, but feeling sick all week, and everything that could go wrong did.
this year was a year when the ganache refused to work. first batch broke, second batch is not hard enough, but i put used it anyway.

the kids favorite cookie, chinese chews, have never failed me till this year. crust part was overcooked, and the topping has baking powder which didnt rise. started to remake them, but yeah....
at least i didnt burn any and start the house on fire.

and i got 2 different cookies all prepped up and ready to go, but they are not gonna get in that oven by themselves.
maybe i will get a few baked in the morning.

and yeah, that cranberry sauce i was supposed to bring tomorrow? not happening.
