Making cookies is one of my favourite parts of the Holidays. Times spent weighing ingredients, needing dough and rolling cookies with my grandmother are some of my most cherished holiday memories. This is what the holidays are all about – sending time with those you love and making memories.
For a cookie monster like myself there are never enough cookies – especially at the holidays. Everything from shortbread and sugar cookies to walnut cookies and these chocolate candy cane cookies – you can never have too many!
