    Amazing & Easy Shortbread Cookies

    11/23 /1 Comment

    I love the versatility of shortbread cookies! I love them even more dipped in chocolate! I took these one more step and added peppermint because my little one loves it! He had one of these cookies and did a happy dance singing these are the best cookies ever! He is four so any cookie is a great cookie, but it made me smile. Anyhow, you can dip these or leave them plain. You can sprinkle sugar or other fun toppings prior to baking too. These are also the perfect shortbread cookie Christmas recipe! I know Santa will love these cookies! Enjoy y’all!   Super easy and tasty shortbread cookies! [amazon…

    Our Children Were Born In The Time They Were Intended To Be In

    11/19 /2 Comments

    I am guilty! Guilty of doing something that I just need to stop doing! What is that you ask? Comparing my childhood to my kids!
