In this week’s cover story, we hold a cookie swap — asking a variety of people to share a cookie recipe and a little about what makes it special. We have 48 cookies (including cookie-ish items like bars and drops) for your baking and eating pleasure.
Also on the cover I know, I know, we’re not even to Festivus (Dec. 23) and we’re already talking about New Year’s Eve, which this year falls on a Sunday. Get to making those plans and those RSVPs for a special meal (page 28) or a night of music (page 36). Of course you don’t have to wait to Dec. 31 to enjoy some live music or a comedy show — check out the Music This Week listing of music at area restaurants (page 38), find laughs in the Comedy This Week (page 41) and check out upcoming ticketed Concerts (page 42). And puzzles — sure, we always have puzzles but it felt like a good reminder that if you need a quiet moment to yourself, we offer two crosswords, three sudokus and more, starting on page 43.
