I make these cookies every christmas. They are soooo delicious. I always seem to get close to 4 dozen from this recipe. I know they're prettier with the drizzle, but I usually skip it and they're still fantastic. -
My kids loved these and they were gone in no time at all! They go together quickly and are worth the time and effort. A new favorite cookie for us here! Thanks for sharing Rachie! Karen

I am a married stay at home mom (former teacher) with two little girls. I enjoy cooking but love baking even more! (My husband certainly doesn't complain!) All the girls in my family and I all enjoy exchanging recipes and trying them out on our families. Taste of Home and Betty Crocker were my original kitchen/recipe resources - now I am a Zaar-aholic! I love trying out new recipes and my family does too! It brings me great joy and is a personal goal of mine to be able to offer a meal or a treat to any guest that comes in my door.
