Happy December! With #NationalCookieDay on the horizon (Dec. 4th), I thought there was no better way to celebrate than with one of my favorite cookies: Snickerdoodle! I am a real life cookie monster and while I may need to seek medical attention for my addiction, today is not that day!

Making homemade cookies most definitely gets me in the Christmas spirit. As a kid, I loved helping out with anything that involved baking (but not as much as I enjoyed eating the final product!). Grab a loved one or the kiddies, turn on your favorite Christmas playlist, and get those rolling pins rolling for a cookie baking party you are sure to enjoy!

P.S. Santa might love chocolate chip cookies, but I’ve heard he will go for a snickerdoodle anytime *wink wink*
Enjoy!
