I wasn't a big Christmas cookie guy........until now. Gigi borrowed this recipe from her Mom and this past Christmas she made a couple of batches using her Mom's cookie press that had to be older than me. I am now hooked. Buttery, creamy and not too sweet. They're the perfect size to pop the whole cookie into your mouth. Gigi's the best!
