’Tis the season to bake, cook, and, well...eat! I know this is my favorite part of the year, with friends and family gathering together, and that can only mean one thing, lots of food! While skimming through a magazine, I came across a very different recipe, something I have never heard of before, Cowboy Cookie Mix In A Jar. It’s not only easy and simple but it’s something worth wrapping up and putting under the tree this year to share. So instead of shopping around for a gift, try something with a more personal touch. I bet even Santa would like these cookies waiting for him by the fireplace! Happy holidays, everybody!
