    During the Holidays it may get hectic! With all the gift buying, family visiting, and decoration going on it seems there is no time to make delicious food for your loved ones! Don’t fret because here’s a great recipe that makes a lot of great flavors in no time! Happy baking to all of you and Happy Holidays! xx

    Tips and Procedures: 

    • I like to scoop my cookie dough and freeze them for about 15 minutes before baking. This allows the butter to chill up that way when they bake, they don’t spread as much and you’re left with a thicker, chewier cookie.
    • Before mixing the dry ingredients like the cake mix, sift them carefully. This easy but very important step would make your cookies nice and evenly textured, without the flour lumps.
    • If you love gift-giving, you can bake dozens and wrap them in decorative bags to give as gifts. It is also best to include all flavors in each gift bag.
    • Store these cookies in an airtight container to prolong their shelf life.
    • If you have frozen butter, let it thaw at room temperature, or if you are in a hurry, you can wrap it in a warm damp cloth (with the package on) so it will soften quicker.
