Thanksgiving is over and now we are onto the Christmas/Chanukah holidays. I am so excited because this is my favorite time of year. There is nothing like spreading the joy of the holidays with my family. Every year, one of my favorite traditions is to bake cookies together and sit together around the fire eating them.
Also every year we have the tradition of trying a different cookie recipe till we perfect it. We have tried so many through the years but my favorite is the Country Crock® Make It YoursTM Cookie Recipe. This recipe was so easy to make and it is fun for the kids, because you can add your own mix-ins. A score if you ask me!
What I love about this recipe besides the taste is how easy it is. It only take a few ingredients and you can personalize it with your own mix-ins. For the holidays, we are going to add white chocolate chips and almonds for our mix-ins. We did a test trial of these and they ended up being truly fantastic! You can also switch up the mix-ins so you have a ton of different cookies with just one recipe. That means I can make more delicious nom noms in less time and with less hassle. WIN
