Have a great weekend and let me know if you have any questions about my cookie recipes.
The link for the Candy Cane Kiss Cookie doesn’t work.
Hi Eileen, we actually just republished the recipe for Candy Cane Kiss Cookies today — very similar to the original, but with a few tweaks to keep the dough from over spreading. Hope you’ll give them a try!
What a wealth of cookie recipes to try! Thank you for this compilation. I was just looking for something cute to make for the cookie sale at my little one’s playschool and I will def go for the Funfetti cookies. Who does not love sprinkles?!
Wow, these all look so incredible! I don’t know which to make first!
Yummy. Thanks so much for sharing.
