It's Christmas Eve. Many of you might be thinking about what cookies you're going to leave out for Santa Claus tonight. Before you assemble your plate of cookies, consider adding these to the mix! Though I was one of those rare children who couldn't be convinced of Santa, I'm pretty sure he'd get a big kick out of these ;) They're big cookies (hence the name), chock full of all sorts of sweet add-ins. The combination might seem a little overwhelming, but it actually works quite well. Even if Santa doesn't like 'em, I'm pretty sure you will!
