So it would not be Christmas without cookies, but that was always especially true at Grandma Audrey's house. She would make loads of cookies and send them home with everybody, Uncle David would eat cookies from the moment he walked in her door till the ride home. I know she always made several kinds but in my memory Spider Cookies stand out as her speciality. They are nothing fancy just peanuts, chow main noodles, chocolate and butterscotch chips but the taste of them always reminds me of Christmas at Grandma's. Memories of her red ceramic Santa boot filled with candy canes, the wooden nativity puzzel, a can of regular coke and watching Charle Brown in the breeze way flood into my mind when I eat these cookies. This weekend Grandpa Ed is coming to our house for dinner, so Jackie and I whipped up a batch of these cookies today. I think that the amount of chocolate around her gigant smile would tell you they were a hit with her today too. Jacqueline did feel the need to add sprinkles (that's the jar in her hand) to the top to decorate. I think I will need to hide the cookies if I want them to last til Saturday.
I think you should ship some of Jacqueline's creations up to Alaska! They sound yummy!
