Christmas = Cookies!
As with many Christmas traditions they change over the years, the generations. My brothers and I have happy memories of helping our mother stir, bake and decorate cookies for Christmas. Our children helped me with cookies too. I tied an apron around their middles, they climbed on a stool to reach the counter top and they stirred up a storm. Now one of our daughters has a Vegan diet. The following recipe is a new favorite cookie.
