Best Christmas Cookie Recipes
My daughters love baking with me! Often times, they argue over who’s going to put which ingredients into the bowl first.
However, we’ve baked so much now that we’ve finally come down with a system that works with each batch.
Now, the hardest wait is for the cookies to be cooled enough to put on the toppings or icing. But the smell… is amazing!
As a matter of fact, we enjoy making homemade gifts during the holiday season so much that we hand them out as gifts.
For example, we like to give them to loved ones as well as…
- Teachers
- Church Family
- Neighbors
- Friends
- Co-Workers
It creates some of the most thoughtful gift ideas!
