“Cookies deserve at least the same courtesy given to stale bread.” [Original artwork and photographs: Jessie Oleson] Christmas is over and we’ve entered a bleak time of year full of gifts being returned, dried-out Christmas trees at the curb, and the saddest story of all, the Christmas cookies gone stale.
