It’s Christmas cookie making day, so I’m reposting this blog from last year. A long and wonderful tradition with my adult son. And, the best cookies…..which I will portion out slowly………..
It looks like an ordinary cookie but it’s not. It has a story that I’d like to tell.

I’m so glad they came out good!
Thanks!
