63. Cracked Sugar Cookies

I am not sure if my sweet husband got the memo about the point of this whole year. When I started to make these cookies he wanted to know if I could put chocolate chips in half. Hello....Honey....The whole point to branch out. So come on, Branch out! After eating these he said that he liked them but it would be better if it was Chocolate. What can I do?? I just smiled and said maybe next time.
