I got’s to know: what kind of cookies? I can’t get excited unless I know the kind of cookies I’m pulling for (or against) in this game.

When I hear “Christmas Cookies” I assume your basic sugar cookies in the shapes of trees, stars, etc. with red and/or green icing. And sprinkles.

99 of them is like a five year supply for me. Want one?

Clearly, **Frank** has been checkin out my baked goods as well. Why’s everybody got to put their eyballs on my cookies? Do they owe you money? No? Then leave them alone. Shit, people, make your own goddamned cookies!

I had that sort in mind as a good bet. I would limit myself to 10 if they’re the right size. Those Danish wedding cookies are the type that I will eat all of if they’re unprotected. I can’t decide if it’s the confectioner’s sugar or the pecans, but they do not sit still whenever I’m near them.

You should have baked either 96 or 108 cookies. Baked goods must be a multiple of 12.

As People’s Commissar for Cookie Distribution, I confiscate these two cookies in the name of the Revolution. One for distribution, one for quality control testing. Your quota for next year will be one hundred and two cookies.

(munch)

Your quota for next year is zero cookies.
