What type of cookies/dessert are you making for christmas this year?
I'm looking for something new to make this year and am starting the baking this friday.
Also what type of packaging do you tend to use to distribute the sweets in (like if you were giving them as a gift and there are more than a few different types of sweets in the package how do you usually do it?)
I don't get out of school until the 23rd, so we are probably going to be cookie free, sadly.
I'm making a chocolate chip cheese ball to take to everywhere we go for Christmas since that's easy peasy, though.
I haven't had one of those since my baby shower! So good!
Know what else is easy peasy and super good?
Take a tub of cheescake filling, a bag of chocolate chip cookie dough, mix that together and eat with those little butter cookies that kids put on their fingers?
so good!
