Day 5

We're halfway through this year's Winter Celebration (it always goes so fast!) and what better way to celebrate that than with a cookie baking session? One of my all-time favorite traditions we have here in our little family household is our annual cookie baking extravaganza. Every year (well, every year pre-pandemic) we host a gathering of friends, everyone brings their favorite cookie recipe and ingredients, and we make (and eat) lots and lots and lots of cookies.

Now, with a toddler under the roof, I'm more often than not gravitating towards simple butter cookies - they're easy to make, and it's fun for everyone to cut them out with their favorite cookie cutter shape and then decorate them after baking.

Here's my favorite butter cookie recipe for you!
