Christmas Prep...and Cake Box Fudge Brownie Cookies

The decorating is going well.. and Im on track to be finished by the weekend. MrD keeps calling me to check that I haven fallen off the ladder and broken a hip. Seriously...its three steps high.. but its kinda nice that he cares about me that much to worry. He says to wait til he gets home.. but seeing as hes working twelve hour days...when he comes home I just want him to rest. The only thing I asked him to do is to help me put the tree together..as its quite heavy...and connecting all the wires is confusing. Its looking pretty and begging to be fluffed out and decorated

In the midst of it all...I had to stop and make some cookies for our Bible study and church fellowship ... and MrD of course.

I was never a fan of cake box mixes. I have always baked from scratch. But honestly.. these cookies are the best....and MrD's absolute favourites. They are soft and chewy on the inside ...and I bake them a bit longer so the outside is a bit crunchy. They are incredibly easy to make but be warned tho... I find these cookies spread a bit... but its no biggie
