My Favorite Cookie Recipes

Christmas cookies are so important at our house.  My children even though they are grown think they are a must and they all have their favorites.  There are three cookies I have to make every year. Chocolate Crackles, Sugar Cookies, and Snow Balls.  These three are a must besides all the bread and pies that are necessary too.  Today I thought I would share one of my favorite cookie recipes with you.

 

Chocolate Crackles are so easy to make.  They taste like a brownie and look like snowflakes with their powdered sugar cracked tops.
