With less than a week until Christmas, it is crunch time... if you are like me, you don't have much extra time to breathe, forget about trying to make and decorate cookies. Well, here is a simple solution that everyone will love - plus if you are up for it, it is a great recipe for kids to help with too! Or if your kiddos are old enough, with a little direction, they can do this 100% on their own! P.S. - It could make great teachers gifts too, just put a few pieces in a baggie with a pretty bow and a thank you card.
