Today I decided to start trying out some of those recipes I had found earlier in the week. I mean, it's December already, and I have limited time to test recipes before the holidays. While I fancy myself a good baker, I don't think home-baked treats by yours truly is a fair holiday tip for my doormen, so every year in addition to giving them a monetary tip I give them a tray of cookies. Cookies, mini cupcakes, brownies, even some homemade candies and peppermint bark all adorn a less-than-gorgeous disposable tin pan covered with doilies. Honestly, I don't think they mind the lackluster serving tray.
This is the tray from 3 years ago:

I like to change some of the cookies I make every year, so tonight I tried a new recipe. These are
Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies courtesy of Martha Stewart. Two things: (1) follow the directions and don't overbake them. (2) my cookies ended up being HUGE:
Regardless of their size, they're really good. I have a feeling they'll be making it onto this year's cookie platter...
