Easy Christmas Cookies

Easy Christmas Cookies, Gooey Butter Cookies

Pssst. I’ve got some inside scoop for ya. We all know Santa LOVES cookies, but do you know what kind? I do. It’s Gooey Butter Cookies. These are so easy to make and yet, so amazing. These cookies are lightly dusted with powdered sugar and melt in your mouth. The best part about this cookie recipe is it is EASY and QUICK.

With two toddlers terrorizing running around the house, it is hard to spend time baking one on one. Today, Ben fell asleep on the way home from running errands and I was able to smoothly transfer him to his crib without waking so I took advantage. I pulled out the step stool for Luke and we got to baking. I think he was more excited about being allowed to climb up and down on the step stool until we turned on the electric mixer. Look at that sweet face!

Easy Christmas Cookies, Baking with Toddlers

Luke actually inspired a little twist in our recipe. I had left the nutmeg out from earlier and he picked it up and tried to throw the container in the mixer. I sprinkled some in and I think it added a great, festive twist to normal Gooey Butter Cookies.
