Christmas is incomplete without Christmas cookies and this year we baked & decorated them together and here is the recipe.
The most beautiful time of the year, Christmas time is finally here and I bet you are as excited as I am. With our tree all set up and decorated, we are in full Christmas spirit at home. But, I felt like something was missing. This year Christmas will be a bit low-key as compared to previous years and finding ways to make the most of it with family is the best thing to do. So, to spend quality family time and to celebrate the festivities we decided to bake and decorate Christmas cookies together. I think simple fun activities like these are great for that much needed break from routine and for bringing the family together in the kitchen. Find more fun Christmas content here.
These soft & chewy Christmas cookies are super yummy and can be easily made with ingredients you may already have in your pantry. The pretty red, green & white decoration is like cherry on the cake and is what makes these cookies perfect for the holiday season. Enough talking, now it’s time to share the recipe so here it goes.
