My favorite holiday cookies are peanut butter cookies with Hershey’s Kisses.
I love Snickerdoodles
I don’t know if it’s considered a holiday cookie or not, but everyone says my peanut butter cookies are the BEST they have ever tasted…and I hate to brag, but I have to agree! I have pretty made them my signature cookie, and I really don’t even make any other cookie BUT those! Why mess with a good thing,right?!
I wouldn’t mess with it. I love peanut butter cookies!
