Taylor Chip: Delightfully Perfect Cookies
A tasty treat for the holidays? Who says no to that? Taylor Chip cookies are insanely delicious and can be served in a number of ways (from chilled in the fridge to piping hot out of the stove or microwave) – and they’re all tasty.
Taylor Chip provided me with a box to review earlier this fall. They were great. Chewy, dense and massive (each cookie is at least 5.5 ounces) – these cookies are big enough to share (but I never wanted to). In fact, the last ‘brookie’ almost caused a fight in my home.
You can select your own cookies, or go with one of their pre-selected options. You can’t go wrong (they have nearly 30 varieties), but my personal favorite was the sugar cookie.

Making sure the drinks are ice cold on gameday is crucial. But whoever has theese double-walled, insulated glasses won’t have to worry.
Ultimate Variety Snack Sample Gift Box
Is it even gameday if the snacks aren’t out? If you’ve got a foodie in your fandom, then this box is for them.
Meat Market: Inside The Smash-Mouth World Of College Football Recruiting by Bruce Feldman
This book is a bit dated know (it released in 2007), but it is still a fascinating look into the world of college football recruiting. A world which has only gotten messier in recent years.
It’s a must-read for college football fans.
Merry Christmas, FanSiders!
