Sometime around 2002-2003 Mom told me she just would not have time in her schedule to make Christmas cookies anymore, so I took over this task and have been making them ever since. Making them has been a fun time every single year, be it with friends, family or just on my own. Ultimately, having them enjoyed and talked about while you spend cherished time with family is the wonderful reward for the time put into this recipe.
