Week 4 of Cookie Tray Month and we are done! I cannot believe Christmas is 2 days away!! I am done shopping and wrapping all I have to do is play Santa and I cannot wait to see all my kids faces on Christmas morning. Gingerbread is just something I cannot live with out. The molasses smell kills me every time but the taste and smell of these cookies makes my day a tad bit better ok ok maybe a lot a bit.
They are soft and amazing and no cookie tray should be with out these.
I hope you all have an amazing and safe Christmas.
