Mrs. Claus' Secret to Softer Cookies

For softer cookies your can use brown sugar and even add in 2 teaspoons of cornstarch.  But according to Mrs. Claus, the real secret to soft cookies is to cook them faster at 375, and to take them out as soon as the edges turn brown.

Don't Forget the Sleigh Team

Santa has a bigger landing party than many of us think.  First there is the preparation and landing team, who makes sure the house is safe for landing, and that the kids are asleep.  This team may also carry extra copies of Santa's sleigh license, wallet, hats, gloves, and repair kits in case he snags his suit coming down the chimney.  Then their are the reindeer.  They sure get hungry, and especially love it when you leave them oats and carrots.
