About this Recipe

There is something about the smell of warm spices that conjour the holiday spirit. I have been baking these cookies and sharing them with family and friends for years, making this old family favourite my most requested recipe to share. Be sure to double the batch because once you and yours taste these there will be requests for more.

Enjoy!
