Christmas is just a few days away, have you finished your shopping yet? How about your holiday baking? We are just finishing up the last of our baking. This time of year we really love to get the kids involved with the baking. We usually make pies, cookies, chocolate bark, peppermint patties, fudge and so much more. We haven’t had the chance to do much baking this year as baby #4 arrived a little earlier then planed. But we did manage to bake a few batches of sugar cookies.
We are happy to share our favourite sugar cookie recipes with you.
This is a very easy sugar cookie recipe that even the kids can make.
