Holiday Treats

About 5 years ago I was talking to my sister-in-law about wanting to make cookies. Over a nice bottle of wine, we planned the first of many cookie days that would involve all the ladies of the family gathering to prepare our favorite holiday treats. We all bring about 3 holiday treat recipes such as fudge, cookies, brownies, candies, etc. We spend a large chunk of the day mixing, baking, and decorating our amazing treats and setting them out on the table to be oogled. Over the years, the kiddos have become more involved in the decorating and, erhm, sampling portion of the cookie day. At the end of all the hard work, we take a photo, then grab our empty plates and begin filling them with samples from everyone’s recipes. As you can imagine, we have quite a selection to choose from! Here are a few photos from our past cookie holidays, as well as some recipes I plan to bring to the event this year 🙂 Happy Holidays!
