"Back in the day" I used to start December 1st and make a batch of Christmas cookies every night until Christmas. Now I make only 2 different kinds of cookies! I bet you are asking yourself- WHY???
Well..... #1 - My husband and I have 'issues' with fats AND sugars in our diet - Bah, Humbug!...#2 - We both need to watch our weight- Bah, Humbug! and #3 I do not have any grandchildren (yet) to eat up all of the goodies!!
My gifts of food have changed since the 1970's! Here is a gift that I share with family and friends. It is a very quick and easy recipe to prepare AND decorate with the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge. Don't forget you can purchase the Cricut cartridge at www.ctmh.com/SweetAline
