Hands down, one of my favorite holiday traditions is baking cookies with my kids. I baked Christmas cookies with my mom and grandma every year growing up, and when I had kids of my own I couldn’t wait to continue this tradition with them. Cookies make wonderful gifts for friends, teachers, and family. The process of baking them together with your kids makes such wonderful memories, too. It’s a timeless joy to pass down from generation to generation, building up a library of recipes as the years go by.
