Even though we’ve had record heat the past few days ~ seriously, it was 83 over the weekend ~ I’ve been trying to convince myself that it’s really cold outside so I can try to believe it’s almost Christmas. I haven’t set up the Christmas tree or any decorations yet. I feel so far behind but it’s so difficult to get in the Christmas spirit when you’re wearing shorts & flip flops.
I decided since it’s too hot to drink hot chocolate I would try out these little beauties! I’ll gladly take the cookies any day!
