Cookies for Santa

After you tuck the kids in bed
It's time to make sure Santa gets fed
Whip up a batch of chocolate chip cookies
You don't want him to think you're a rookie.

After you're finished wrapping last minute presents on Christmas Eve, don't forget to whip Santa up a batch of delicious organic chocolate chip cookies. Pair it with an ice cold glass of (organic) milk and he'll be sure to leave something nice under your tree.

Ingredients
• 8 oz. (2 sticks) organic butter, softened
• 1/2 cup organic brown sugar
• 3/4 cup organic sugar
• 2 extra-large organic eggs

• 2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
• Organic white or semi-sweet chocolate chips (more or less depending on how much you like)

Cooking Instructions:
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine softened butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix until a creamy texture appears.
