"These are my favorite cookies to make for the Holidays. I used some Choxie spicy hot chocolate mix I bought several years ago. The pepper adds a nice surprise kick to the cookie. The cookie dough is awesome...these cookies are addictive I can eat the whole batch. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.

"I made a 4 rib roast (10 lbs for Christmas and it turned out wonderful. I dry aged the roast for 14 days, wrapped it in cheese cloth and changed the cloth twice. I took the meat out of the refrigerator 2 hours before cooking. The dry aging made it easy to cut away the fat. I used my Le Creuset risotto pot with a lid and it worked perfectly.

I took the meat out of when the thermometer reached 118 F to let it rest - the meat temperature increased to 122 F but then it started to drop. I put it back in the oven at 500 F for 15 minutes. The meat came out rare to medium - it was fine for those who like it rare. I ate the end piece that was more cooked and it was delicous. It took approximately 4 hours to cook. This is the second year I made it for Christmas and I received many compliments.
