"I bought a one-way ticket, 'cause I knew I'd never see the ground, unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down. When I wiped the tears from my eyes, the warm water took me by surprise. And I woke up beside the ocean, I realized: I must be in California." -Owl City

Nothing quite like Christmas sprinkles.

I’m a huge fan of Mosaic. It’s such a great group of guys, and they’re a great brother floor. Because of this, I decided that I wanted to bake them Christmas cookies. I bought the ingredients for double batches of monster cookies and sugar cookies, and spent an entire afternoon baking. And that is no joke.

Luckily, three of my friends were willing to help me on this endeavor. We started with the monster cookies. Once you’re talking nine cups of rolled oats, the amount of dough is pretty large. It was delicious, though—before and after being baked.

Once the monster cookies were rolling, we moved on to the sugar cookies. The dough was a little too soft, so I had to cool it for a bit. Once it was ready, I rolled them into balls and rolled those in sugar.

When the oven was available, I flattened the dough on the pan and put on sprinkles. There’s nothing quite like Christmas sprinkles.


Ahh, sprinkles.

After all the baking was done, I ended up with nearly ten dozen cookies. I didn’t even have room for them all; it was ridiculous. However, when we (The FOLD) surprised Mosaic with the cookies, they were really happy. Not to mention, everyone thought they were good, and I got a few compliments. That alone gave me plenty of satisfaction.
