Yay, it's DECEMBER! Which means it's totally fine for me to start talking about my favorite subject...

COOKIES!
I wanted to give this recipe to you early, because it's the one you may use the most during this busy, busy month. It's a shortcut recipe -- which means it takes a little help from the store -- but it's the one I keep turning to for last minute events or "Oops! I forgot" moments.
These are a tender sugar cookie bar, jazzed up with a filling of sea salt caramel chips and prepared caramel topping. They are sweet and salty, soft and crunchy -- really just an explosion of flavors in a very small bite. I cut these small because they are rich and good. I used a packaged sugar cookie mix as the base for the bar and I don't regret it one bit because it comes together in just a few minutes. I found the Hershey's Sea Salt Caramel Chips in my regular grocery store, and they're really what started my wheels turning. (No, this is not a promo for them; I just bought them and really liked the flavor.) If you can't find them in your regular store, you can get them on Amazon. They are pretty important to the recipe, so don't skip 'em.
These come together incredibly quickly, but look bakery quality (and taste even better). They're a must-have for this busy season, so pin 'em now and you'll thank me later!
p.s. If you're looking for 12 Days of Cookies, it will be over here on my blog, Sugar Mama, starting Friday, Dec. 1!
