experience I've gotten myself into a rut. A "my- favorite-cookie-happens-to-be-baked-fresh-daily-within-30-paces-of- my-office-door" kind of a rut. And guess who's to blame? Martha. And no, I don't mean my rescued Labrador retriever Martha. If you don't know who I am talking about, then you haven't lived in Redlands for very long. So in case you are new to the area, I am speaking of the one and only, Mrs. Martha Green.

Cookie Gilchrist was running a drive-in restaurant called Uncle Tom's Cabin in Hamilton, Ont. Fried chicken was a featured menu item. It was a side-job, of course. Gilchrist's main gig was starring at running back for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League. One day -- the year was probably 1957 -- a businessman showed up at the drive-in and made a sales pitch. He was looking for established restaurants to buy into the new franchise he was starting up. To enhance his proposal, he went into the kitchen with Cookie and whipped up a batch with his own special recipe.

The recipe for the top-rated cookie in the 2011 Dayton Daily News Holiday Cookie Contest didn't come from the back of a box, or a television cooking show, or a great-grandmother's recipe box. It came about because a baker couldn't find a key ingredient and started experimenting. Lindsey Posey of Miamisburg -- whose Cinnamon Chip Oatmeal Cookies took top honors in this year's contest -- started making a cinnamon chip cookie when she was in college about 10 years ago. She bought a cinnamon swirl cake mix, and doctored it up to make cookies rather than cake and liked the results.

For many, cookies are synonomous with Christmas - and the more and greater assortment the merrier. Often though, it can be daunting to whip up a variety of treasured gems with the time contraints this time of year. To get around this, consider hosting a cookie exchange party or swap this holiday season. It's not too late to pull one off if you make it a casual get-together. Originating in the early 1900s, swaps were a way for women to cut down on their holiday baking load and have some fun in the process, notes Lauren Chattman, a former pastry chef, in her recently released, "Cookie Swap," (Workman Publishing; $14.95).

PARMA, Ohio - The Girl Scouts were selling their cookies the old- fashioned way, pulling a creaky-wheeled red wagon laden with Thin Mints and Samoas down a suburban street. But the affair took a decidedly 21st-century twist when, with a polite smile, one of the girls pulled out a smartphone and inquired: "Would you like to pay with a credit card? The girls are among about 200 troops in northeast Ohio who are changing the way Girl Scouts do business. For the first time, the girls are accepting credit cards using a device called GoPayment, a free credit card reader that clips onto smart phones. Girl Scout leaders hope that allowing customers to pay with plastic will drive up cookie sales in a world where carrying cash is rapidly going the way of dial-up Internet.

Did you know Thin Mints will last longer if kept in the freezer? The mistress of ceremonies at the Western Branch Girl Scout Cookie Rally on Jan. 7 shared this and other cookie trivia, such as Thin Mints are the favorite and Samoas are 35 years old. Girls wearing colorful clothing festooned with merit badges filled the sanctuary of New Creations Methodist Church, Aldersgate campus. Troops went onstage to perform skits and win prizes. But it isn't all fun and games. The girls learn business skills and keep most of their earnings to fund service projects and field trips. If they miss you at home, look for cookie booths throughout the area. If you want to support the cause without eating the cookies you can donate them to police and fire departments, or shelters and hospitals, or to the US...
