On the Fifth Day of Cookies...

Posted by Laura at 1:16 PM
Another classic cookie recipe that just cannot be left out. Trees, poinsettias, wreaths, and ribbon have been a part of my holiday season for as long as I can remember. Be sure to watch these cookies very carefully while baking as they can go from perfect to burnt in a matter of seconds. The cookies should be removed from the oven as soon as the edges begin to turn a little brown.
