Christmas Cookies
These recipes were are from Veronica St. Denis, forwarded to me by Denise
Denton.
Denise said that every Christmas, Grandma would bake cookies for weeks and
send them to her children and grandchildren who couldn't be home for the
holidays.
Denise said that her and her daughters try to keep the tradition alive with Grandma's recipes!
