It’s also time for this month’s Fill the Cookie Jar. Just a quick re-cap…it’s a fabulous Facebook baking group that shares their favorite cookie recipes each month. This month’s theme is, of course, Christmas.
When I think of Christmas cookies, peppermint seems to be a perfect choice.
What goes great with peppermint? Chocolate, of course!
