I have been slacking, A LOT, lately! Sorry about that. Now that Christmas break has come, I hope to try out some new cookie recipes. We will see how I do. However, this was just a New Years Resolution, so I just have to make it another two weeks and then I don't have to feel so guilty about not posting as often as I promised. I hope I can make it! For my first baking attempt of the Christmas season, I decided to try out some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, but I wanted to use chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips to give them a little extra chocolate. Not the best picture, sorry!
