There are some sweets that are synonymous with the holidays. For me, it always included my moms chocolate chip cookies. Another, is a cookie that I always get requested to make....Mexican Wedding cookies. They are my best friends favorites. What are some cookies that are in your holiday arsenal every year?
Mom' Chocolate Chip Cookies
The recipe is on the back of the Nestlé Toll House chocolate chip bag! My tip to make them taste like mom's....cream the butter and sugar for at least 5 min. Dont't laugh it really makes a difference! My neices and nephews love these cookies. I mean who doesn't!
