Baby Jesus Cookies
This year I focused on cookies that can be made with a helper. I have a new grandson who turned one this November and I am already looking forward to the time when he can bake with me! My first set of cookies I am simply calling Baby Jesus Cookies and it is the perfect cookie to have a young one help you with!
While it isn't a "recipe" as such, more like a series of steps to follow, this cookie is delicious as well as so cute. I would take it to my Sunday School class as a Christmas treat, or a plateful to a nursing home that allows homemade goodies.

I can't wait to have the Angel Face and Little Miss M help me make these adorable cookies. You are going to have so much fun with your handsome little guy in the kitchen. Merry Christmas Terri.
