A great Christmas cookie
If I could make you all cookies and deliver them to your door with a smile and a “Merry Christmas”, I would. But this will have to be the next best thing I could do for you.
This is a newly developed tradition. Neighbors who barely knew my name knew it well after delivering these delights to their door… In fact, I had one person tell me that they didn’t like raisins but they loved these cookies! Clearly, it’s a unique tasting cookie, sure to be memorable to the recipients.
Enjoy!
