12 DAYS OF FOODMAS: Day 6
One of the best things about Christmas is getting to bake with the kids. Cookies/biscuits are the best thing to bake with children, you cant really mess it up! Now that my 4 1/2 is reading numbers she can now weigh out the ingredients which is really fun for all of us!
This recipe is from here, it is makes A LOT of cookies so if you do not want to feed your whole street or be eating cookies until Christmas please cut the recipe in half but I thought it would be fun to give cookies to everyone we know. On the 5th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…
