Nothing can bring quite as much stress as realizing in mid-December that you still have your child's teacher to shop for. With my daughter in middle school now, we have several more teachers to shop for than before. This year I decided to give a small box of assorted cookies to hand out to all of our teachers, neighbors, and a few special doctors too. I am not a baker, mostly because I can't help myself from overindulging and I am not adverse to eating a cookie for breakfast if is in the house. With all that in mind, I had my favorite pastry chef make the cookies and she even packaged them up for me. Voila! I can check teacher Christmas gifts off my list.
