I remember making these cookies with my mom when I was a teen. That's when I really found my love of all things cooking and baking. Every Christmas I remember buying a cookie magazine from the grocery store and I would try and make as many cookies out of it as possible. I made a horrible mess of the kitchen but I had a great time. That's what Christmas baking is about, making lasting memories with family and friends, oh and also helping to clean the kitchen together! Enjoy!
