Law firm enjoys taste of the holidays

Learning was the unspoken theme at the Coker, Schickel, Sorenson & Posgay annual Christmas cookie exchange on Monday, Dec. 15.

Most of the participants discovered that founding partner Howard Coker had been passing off cookies baked at Worman’s as his own for the exchange, when other participants donated cookies that they had made. This year was a change for Coker and he found his way around the kitchen instead of through the door of the popular Deli and Bakery in Downtown Jacksonville.

“I found out what the blender does this year,” said Coker. “And I also found out what a powdered hand is. You put flour on your hands so the dough doesn’t stick to them when you are rolling it.”

Another tip for aspiring cookie makers is to use a toothpick to test if cookies are done. If the dough sticks to the toothpick when it is pulled out, the cookies aren’t done.

Just as anticipated as the actual cookie exchange itself is the arrival of founding partner Jake Schickel’s submissions. His baked goods have been so well received at the event that Schickel earned the nickname Jake “The Bake.”

This year he made toasted pecan butter cookies and “chip & dip” cookies. The recipe for the latter can be found on the Internet with different ingredients, but what makes this cookie unique is its use of crushed potato chips and pretzels to give it a salty-sweet taste without adding nuts. This is good news for those who love sweets, but are allergic to nuts.

Matt Posgay contributed rice crispy treats that were made in various shapes and sizes.

Everyone in the office left with a plate or bag-full of cookies
