A few days ago I shared our Molasses Cookie Recipe and Snickerdoodle Cookie recipe as a part of the the series ‘A Cookie a Day Until Christmas’ hosted by So You Call Yourself a Homeschooler. These are two treats that our family enjoys every Christmas Eve just before bedtime, and one that we all look forward to as a part of our Christmas traditions.
The Molasses Cookie recipe is one that Rick’s grandmother wrote out for me many years ago, and the Snickerdoodle Cookies are a bonus for my hubby who REALLY enjoys them. You’ll want to check out the other cookie recipes in series ‘A Cookie a Day Until Christmas’ as well – there are some great ones there!!
I’m not sure why we only make these once a year, but you’ll definitely want to pull out some milk to enjoy along with these cookies!! Here are the recipes, just in case you would like to whip up a few batches of yumminess too!
