HolidayLemon Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies

Christmas is getting close, and it’s alwaysbeen one of my favorite holidays. I love picking the perfect gift for thepeople I care about and then seeing their faces when they open it. In myyounger, less anti-social (or rather, less filled with work during normalhours) days, I could wander the malls forever (back when we had more mallshere. And not really forever, but for a while). I love the lights, the people,the sounds, the smells…

And the cooking. I get all kinds of domestic forChristmas. Or at least, a little. I like making sweets. The years have taughtme that working with a bunch of guys (is it possible I pull story ideas fromprevious jobs? I’ll never tell 😉), a lot of them single, means that foodmakes great gifts for my coworkers.

One year, two of my best friends at work weresingle guys. I found this cookie recipe and pretty much tried it out on themdisguised as a Christmas gift. It went over so well that I’ve made it my go-toevery year. I think the response was something like ‘next time you get bored,if you wanted to make these again…’. Making these will occupy my kitchen thisweekend, at least for a little bit, because fortunately they’re really quickand easy to make.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 3oz package cream cheese, softened

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon milk

1 teaspoon lemon extract (you can substitute any kind of extract here. I’ve used cherry and orange as well. Sharper flavors stand out better)

Red and green food color (optional)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 F (176 c), grease 2 baking sheets

Drop rounded tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets, 2 inches apart.

Judith
It’s lonely at the top.
I knew it would be when I clawed my way up here, trading away favors and any personal life to get to where I am today, the head of the hottest new video game company in the industry.
When an old friend calls in one of those favors, I’m happy to help Xander out. His partner, Dominic, needs to impress some conservative clients, and showing up to get-to-know-you dinners with a heavily tattooed man on his arm isn’t the way to do it.
And there are far worse things in the world than pretending to be Dom’s fiancée.
When the fake kisses with Dominic start to feel real, I realize there’s something missing in my life. Worse, I’m starting to realize I never should’ve let Xander get away.
But the three of us together will bring everything we’ve worked for toppling down around us. There’s no way love is worth that kind of sacrifice.
