Jessica Once upon a time, my great friend Alaina brought over a whole heaping amount of Christmas cookies for us one year. This was probably over 13 years ago and we were living in Florida.
Anyway, long story short, Alaina brought over these cookies, I was enraptured and got the recipe from her. Today we’re going to an Ugly Christmas Sweater party at our gym and I thought I’d break out this recipe since its so perfectly Christmas-y AND delicious!
