The Holiday can be complete without some delicious treats. I still remember the beautiful smell of baked cookies every time I returned home from school. While I was growing up , even though I was pretty terrible at cooking, baking was something I really wanted to work on. Do you remember me bragging about last year's holiday cookies on instagram? I even have a secret pinterest board filled with cookie and general , holiday recipes, decor ideas and honestly, I wish I could recreate every pin in it. The truth is I sadly cannot do that but maybe you can. I gathered a few of my favorite simple cookie recipes (gluten free included) that will definitely bring back a lot of your childhood memories. You will find out that the majority of these recipes have something in common, chocolate and that's because I simply can never have enough of it. You can find a bowl of chocolate cookies and more than a few Christmas chocolate cookie recipes somewhere in my kitchen every December. Honesty I am not even sorry any more.
