O' Happy Holiday Cookie Time.
I've never been a cookie baker, but this year, something came over me. I'm baking Jaz's Cranberry Coconut cookies today, and will make your Grandma's Sugar Yule cookies tomorrow, or tonight. Mine will be all angels with silver and gold sprinkles.
Thanks for sharing! How fun for us.
Yum, yum!! I love baking cookies, especially at Holiday time! I love how your little one decorated them, just lovely!
