Besides presents, snow, religious traditions, and Santa; Christmas always reminds me of cookies.
This is because one of our family traditions was to bake cookies for all the neighbors. My mother did all the hard work, and we children ran paper plates full of her results around the block.
As I’ve grown up and had my own family, I’ve tried to follow the same tradition. Admittedly, some years I haven’t had a lot of time for baking.
So, besides the fact that I love dipping things in candy, the following recipes are also quick and easy.
You can also involve the kids in doing more than delivering!
