Christmas With the Duggars Part 1

What does Christmas look like for the Duggar family? For the next two days, we will be discussing how Jim Bob, Michelle, and the kids celebrate the season.

In the days leading up to the 25th, the mouth-watering aroma of every kind of baked good imaginable fills the Duggar home.

"We enjoy taking treats, like cookies and homemade bread and honey butter, to those who serve in the community -- the fire department, the police department as well as some other people that we know that need some encouragement because they've had a rough year," explains Michelle in a recent blog post. Delivering baked goods has been a Duggar Christmas tradition for years.

Even though they are a bustling household, the Duggars still find time to serve others. They even whip up special treats for those who have to limit their sugar intake.

"My daughter Jill makes a homemade salsa with cilantro and onions, and it is delicious," Michelle writes in her Parentables post. "It's also great as a gift because sometimes people can't always do the sugar."

Out of all the recipes they make during Christmas, the Duggars' favorite is Mrs. Brundi Crawford's Super Yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies. Would you like to give it a try? We have included the recipe below.

Mrs. Brundi Crawford's Super Yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:
2 cookie sheets 
2 sticks melted butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. pure vanilla (2 tsp. if using imitation)
2 1/4 cups all purpose four
1 ts. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
3 cups chocolate chips   

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Blend butter and both sugars until soft. Add eggs, vanilla, flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Gently mix in chocolate chips. Scoop by tablespoon size onto cookie sheets. Bake at 350° for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly brown.  

Very Important!: Squish all sides of cookie together using a spoon or your fingers. Bake 1 additional minute. Let sit 2 minuets on cookie sheet before removing to cool. This sets the bottom & gives that small amount  of crunch. Makes a difference. 

*Makes 2 dozen cookies
