food for the gods

It's now my sixth year that my ex-bf now my hubby gives me annual assignment to look for a christmas presents for his co-workers/officemates/friends and even to his family and of course except mine. For 2011, since I am a new MRS. I will make it something  extra special so I decided to bake some goodies for his twelve office based colleagues.

This recipe for me is on "hit" on christmas holidays for the reasons that its easy to prepare, the ingredients are readily available, its so sweet, chewy and of course yummy!
