12 Days of Christmas Cookies 2019

Last year, we made it through twelve days of Christmas Cookies, a different cookie recipe every single day from December 1-12. It was a great success and hopefully you had a lot more cookies to add your holiday baking arsenal! We did it again in 2020, and it’s so much fun we will keep doing it each year!
