Sweetness

I promised a while back that I’d start sharing some cookie recipes for the holiday baking.

This is one of my favorites.

I made them several years back for a cookie swap party and they have been a permanent part of my holiday baking plan since then.

I’m thinking I’ll make them again this year, but try to make them with Splenda instead of sugar.

If you like eggnog, give them a try. I think you will love them.
