We made it to December! This year is definitely going to be memorable and the holidays gives me even more reason to make it as special as possible after the year we’ve had. To kick off this month, we’re featuring a week full of new holiday cookie recipes to share! Check in every day to see what we have in store and in the interim, here’s a visual sneak peek of what’s to come…
The first cookie recipe we’re sharing is for Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. This has a special meaning to me, since it has been a holiday tradition to make crinkle cookies since I was in high school. However, the first crinkle cookie recipe I made was a short cut recipe using boxed cake mix. Now, we’re making them fully from scratch, which has a much better flavor and texture!…
