Hey you,
It wouldn't be a holiday season without using our favorite cookie cutters or making a complete flour-y mess of the kitchen floor with the kiddos, would it? ;-)
These Holiday Spiced Sugar Cookies will hit the spot! They are doughy / soft and just a bit sweet...nothing that will send you into that sugar craving downward spiral. Bring them along to your next holiday party or cookie exchange....and double the batch to keep some extras at home!
<<These are gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and soy free.>>
In Joy and Health,
Tara
