hungeegirl: can mix it by hand ... it's just a lot easier (and faster) to cream butter and sugar using an electric mixer. the main thing is to make sure you get a light and fluffy consistency, as this will affect the texture of your cookies once baked.

I just might make those double-chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookies and leave them on my coworkers desks. I think I have to do it secretly though. Everyone seems to be afraid my cough is contagious. 'Tis the season for cookies and the common cold!

My plan for this weekend is to spend both days baking cookies - I kind of wish the snowpocolypse was still happening, because that would make Christmas cookie baking even more fun.
