December is moving along! We are already on day 4 of 25 Days Of Christmas Cookies! Have you done your Christmas shopping or shopping for whatever special holiday your family celebrates? Or have you put it off and will wing it any day now?? We are almost done I think. I am looking at at least one more smallish purchase. Then on December 15th we both go off and do stocking stuffer shopping. This includes candies and little gifts!
If you are not aware, today is Nation Cookie Day! So get baking!!! I really was not aware of it till I saw a post from one of my favorite baking spaces earlier today. Since I was baking cookies today & well, every day till the 25th…I figure I have National Cookie Day taken care of.
In honor of National Cookie Day, I will ask you a question! “What Is Your Favorite Cookie”? Mine, aside from Chocolate Chip, are Sugar Cookies!!! Yum 🙂 Happy Baking!
