The smell of baked cookies in the oven is something no one ever can forget. Something about a classic cookie during the holidays always needs to be shared with always makes it better! I stumbled on this recipe on Pinterest and decided that it needed to be shared with you!!
I also thought I’d break the ingredients into parts, keeps it easier to read during the baking process. Happy creating!!
