On the “About Lisa” section of my website, I mention that I like to bake. And I’m a little braggy about my chocolate-chip cookies. But for good reason, honest! They really are amazing. I thought you might enjoy seeing a photo of the batch I made the other day. 
I shared the recipe, of course. Here it is also. Enjoy!
I don’t fully understand it, but my son said on Monday evening that he needed to bring in to school the next day (of course) some kind of baked good for chemistry class. Something about volume, which somehow segued into the idea of voles and raisins. Luckily we had a tube of crescent-roll dough on hand. And here is the result of his culinary handicraft. Cute, no?
Actually, I don’t understand it all. But afterwards he said his Crescent Voles were a big hit. :)
Isn’t this beautiful? It’s especially nice on a cool, gray, Pacific Northwest kind of day. 
By the way, there’s a “secret sauce” which makes it especially good: mango juice.
In our house, it’s one of the hap-hap-happiest times of the year. :)

Call it willful denial, but the holidays aren’t over in my house. Not, at least, until we’ve finished our fudge.
By the way, the recipe is super-easy.
