These look pretty easy to make. I love making cookies and treats at Christmas time, and I think we eat enough to make up for the whole year, lol. Maybe if I make a few more treats during the year we won't eat so many goodies at Christmas, and this looks like something I would enjoy making, thanks for the recipe!!
