Even though it’s only July, I’m already dreaming of spending hours in the kitchen, huddled around the marble island and counters, making a floury mess with the hot oven going and the smell of wonderful deliciousness filling the air. Planning new Christmas cookies recipes keeps me excited.

Ever since my kids were little, they’ve helped me in the kitchen baking and cooking – and the holidays was one of my most memorable times with them, baking our favorite Christmas cookies recipes!
