I'm a nut when it comes to the holidays. Staring in mid November I begin to plan out my attack on the Christmas cookie baking season. Each holiday season I like to make 10-15 different types of cookies and create holiday cookie trays to give out as gifts to friends, family and co-workers. I'm excited to share my recipes which have been passed along to me throughtout the years from my grandma and father. I cant wait to learn new recipies for cookies I'm looking to add to my holiday cookie list.
