chocolate gooey butter cookies

I have a new recipe to add to my all time favorites. I've made chocolate crackle cookies before but this one takes top prize. Seriously, these cookies are sooo yummy!!! 

I was searching Food Network's 12 Days of Cookies recipes & found this one. I've already bought 2 more boxes of cake mix because the batch I made last night...yeah, that's nearly gone! 

These puppy dogs were patiently waiting to see if I'd drop any cookies :) 
You can check out the recipe here.

I was glad to see from my last post that some of you share the same feelings about the holidays as I do. I ended up canceling my cookie swap (more cookies for me! hehe) We're headed out tonight with my friend Kellie & her family for some holiday fun & hopefully a horse-drawn carriage ride :)

We managed to get most of the outside lights up today which makes me sooo happy. The wreaths won't be up (except for the front door) but I had to realize my limits this year. Normally I get those up the week before Thanksgiving. This is the first year I didn't have any lights on my house by Dec 1st. And mind you, I've spent 2 Decembers in my 3rd trimester so it can be done! I've noticed that it's actually easier to be near the end of a pregnancy during the holidays than in the beginning. Weird!

Anyhoo, here's a few fun pics from this afternoon. 
 One very happy pup :)
 
Tomorrow I'm hoping to finish up outside & then get cracking on my December Daily before I get too far behind. I also have a bunch of treat bags & teacher gifts to get ready. The kids only have 4 more days of school left before winter break!!
