If you are like me, we are always looking for that special cookie recipe to share with Carollers for the holidays. This is the one I personally make in the days running up to Christmas to be able to deal with the “festive songsters” on this joyous occasion.

1 cup....... of dark brown sugar

1 cup....... (2 sticks) butter

1 cup....... of granulated sugar

4 large..... eggs

2 cups..... of dried fruit, cranberries or raisins

1 tsp........ baking soda

1 tsp........ salt

1 tsp........ fresh lemon juice

1 cup....... coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans

2 cups...... all-purpose flour

1 bottle.... José Cuervo Tequila

Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo to be sure it is of the highest quality.

Pour one level cup and drink.

Turn on the electric mixer...

Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl.

Add one teaspoon of sugar... Beat again.

At this point it’s best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK, try another cup.... just in case.

Turn off the mixerer thingy.

Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.

Pick the frigging fruit off floor...

Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver. 

Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.

Next, sift two cups of salt, or something.

Check the José Cuervo.

Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.

Add one table.

Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink.

Whatever you can find.

Greash the oven.

Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over.

Don’t forget to beat off the turner.

Finally, throw the bowl through the window, FINISH the Cosé Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher.
