Great to do with teens and older children, everyone rushing to dole out cookies on sheets before the mixture totally cools! Delicious to sneak some as well!
A favorite Christmas cookie made every year for 40 years. Our children and grandchildren enjoy these as a traditional Christmas staple. I rarely make them any other time of the year, since it is our Christmas tradition, but an easy joint project that's lots of fun to make and a wonderful treat. Rich and not diet friendly, but oh so comforting. Four generations of our family have shared these, passed to every new household. The recipe is part of a bride's shower gift, as the latest generation marries.
