I've been away awhile, well, not away, just busy, but today officially marks day 1 of a 2 week vacation! Woohoo! No more excuses! One week will be spent home, the other, Christmas in Hawaii. What a new holiday experience it will be this year! I've got to get my baking in now. I don't imagine I will be doing it there. ;)

Join me as we countdown the days until Christmas with delicious holiday sweet treats. Well...almost to Christmas. We will spend most of the 23rd in the airport and on an airplane, so forgive me if I don't get a post up on that day.

And now to start this countdown off... Crisp Salted Oatmeal White Chocolate Cookies! As much as I would love to take credit for the invention of these mouth-watering cookies, I cannot. I found the recipe over at Smitten Kitten. I can't get enough of these cookies! Seriously, they melt in your mouth. If you are not a white chocolate fan, don't let these turn you away. I am a dark chocolate kind of girl myself, but these clearly are the exception.
