For several years, I've made this cookie recipe that I concocted myself, and my kids call it my specialty cookies. I found this recipe online today that looks almost identical to mine, but it has two extra ingredients, baking powder and cinnamon, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Then of course, I kicked it up a notch to make them festive looking by adding Wilton's candy melts in red and green. They are phenomenal!
