I love to bake, and I almost always bake from scratch. But sometimes, especially around the holidays, life gets so busy trying to juggle work, Christmas shopping, Christmas decorating, Christmas planning and all the parties, potlucks and cookie swaps that I need something I can bake fast ... that is also delicious and TASTES like I made it from scratch (because there's no pressure at all when you have a food blog and bring cookies to a gathering - ha!).
