Well here it is December 1st.....Christmas is 24 days from now and I am officially feeling stressed out by the amount of things I have to accomplish in what seems like an impossibly short period of time.  So, this morning, over a cup of coffee,  I plotted out all the things to be done one day at a time on the calendar and feel much better for the scheduled sanity that I have created.  Let the madness and mayhem begin!  I'm ready.....I think.  And to help you good people out, the 12 Days of Christmas special will start next week.  Maybe you will see something that strikes your fancy - a hostess gift to make or a creative way to fold napkins for your table.   That's all the hints you're getting!

Since it is officially cookie season, I thought we had better get on with it.  This recipe was given to me years ago by the wife of my former boss.  She called them "Eileen's Oatmeal Cookies" which, with no disrespect to her, doesn't do them justice. My good friend Tom calls them "Magic Love Cookies" and that name has stuck.  The cinnamon, cloves and butterscotch chips fill you with a cozy warmth perfect for this time of year.  You can make them as big or small as you like...today's batch made 36.  

Magic Love Cookies

1 cup Crisco 
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups quick cooking oatmeal
1 tsp ground cloves
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pkg butterscotch chips

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Beat Crisco, sugars, eggs, and vanilla together until creamy.  Add flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves.  Mix until combined.  On lowest speed of your mixer, stir in oatmeal.  Finally, add the butterscotch chips and stir to combine.

Drop by rounded tablespoonful onto parchment lined baking sheets.  Allow enough room between them as they will spread!  I put 9 on each sheet.  Bake for 12-14 minutes until flattened, and golden.  They will be quite soft when taken from the oven.  Don't worry...they're ok.  They will firm up as they cool.  Once cooled a bit, move to rack to cool completely.  Enjoy with a glass of milk.
