They Anomaly elves are busy bakers tonight. No, really, they are busy BAKERS! Each year 'round this time, we try to figure out what our distributors might enjoy as a holiday gift. Last year it was iTunes gift certificates. The year before, chocolate. On Monday, as we began discussing the top, Seth and Gerich had a gleam in their eyes. "Something homemade" was their suggestion. Yikes was my thought! We bantered about various ideas - what would ship well, what would they enjoy, what could we make? Tonight, all of us, Gerich, Seth, Mark, me & Steve were in our kitchens baking various cookies which we will ship overnight tomorrow to our twenty - yes TWENTY distributors. Want to guess? Yes, that's about 120 cookies per baker given the size of the box Gerich found online! It's 9 pm and Steve and I just finished our double batch of chocolate chip cookies. We thought it'd be fun to post our recipes here, so to start, here's ours - which came from a contest the San Francisco Chronicle had for the best chocolate chip cookie recipe about 15 years ago! It is truly time-tested and I swear by these cookies - they really are the best! Chantico.
