Everything Cookies

The Birth of the Everything Cookie. Christmas is in full swing around here. The house is decorated, the presents wrapped beneath the tree, the air filled with the special Christmas tree smell that can only be had by a real tree. Carols echo softly through the Cottage, ok ok I admit it most of them are impromptu solos sung by yours truly- ok yes that was me dancing through the store the other day well lip singing to someone on the radio. Yes, I admit it. I have it bad. #ChristmasFever

So, Brianna has been watching Christmas movies -It just wouldn’t be the same without her sappy Christmas movies thrown in with my classic favorites- and it has put me in the baking mood. Unfortunately, I forgot to stock up on my favorite goodie ingredients so I had to scrounge… Enter Everything Cookies as in everything but the kitchen sink.  These things are seriously A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Loaded with cranberries, milk and white chocolate, and crushed candy canes, they practically spell Christmas. You have to try them to understand. *No dad, I can’t deliver* So with no further ado, the recipe.
