But here is the thing, I also love cookies! I mean if I could rival Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster for the love of cookies, I would! Seriously, I love eating cookies in all shapes and forms. Plus, I am big on making them throughout the year for all different holidays, not just Christmas cookies. Plus, I truly enjoy baking cookies.
But for each holiday, I also love decorating cookies baked cookies to be festive for the occasion.

- Sift in the 3 cups of flour and baking powder.
- The mixture will be stiff so use your hands to finish mixing, if needed.

I was told to change my eating habits due to high cholesterol, so cookies have been eaten sparingly. I will never, however, give up peanut butter and chocolate. 🙂
Happy Monday Janine!
Janine says
Bill, I seriously hope I never get told this. But if I do I will oblige. Still I am going to go down right now in cookie blaze of glory 😉 Happy Monday once again to you!
