My Christmas Cookie Recipes
Both of these recipes were made by maternal Grandmother for as long as I can remember.
And now that she is gone, one of my Aunts still makes them, but on my side of the family, I am the only one that does.
I make them every year, as everyone loves them and as a memory of her.
Well except for last year.
Anyway here they are, and if you get the chance to make them, I hope you do. They are easy and delicious!
