    Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies

    Day 6 of the 12 Days of Christmas Cookie Recipes 2020 While I was brainstorming the various holiday flavors I could think of to inspire my cookie creations, hot chocolate was one of the first to come to mind.

    Grandma Swainston’s Sugar Cookies

    Day 5 of the Twelve Days of Christmas Today’s recipe share is one that is close to my heart!

She was adventurous, spunky, independent, and I’ll never forget how she took the time to get to know each of her “greats” individually. She always made me feel so…
