Holly Berry Cookies image

What would Christmas be without overflowing tins of cookies? These festive filled cookies are the all time favorites of my family. Back when our children were small, we began baking them the day after Halloween and put them away in the freezer. -Audrey Thibodeau, Gilbert, Arizona
