Y’all, when it comes to Christmas I don’t think of gifts, I think of food. More specifically, all the cookies and candies my mom and grandmothers used to make. Grandma Jean used to make these cookies and I fell in love with them. I have been making them every year at Christmas and they always bring back so many memories of being with her in her kitchen.
Give them a try and let me know what you think…are there any cookies that bring back holiday memories for you?
