Happy Christmas Eve Eve!!!!! The Christmas lights are on and we are enjoying our tree today. One of the last things that we do after putting the decorations on our tree is place candy canes all around it. Of course, if you have a person who has a sugar tooth, you will notice that the candy canes slowly seem to disappear before Christmas!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 So before they are all gone, take couple off the Christmas tree and make this amazing cookie recipe!!!!!
