Thanks for Sharing!

Thanks to Hefty for sponsoring today’s post!  Happy Sunday Friends!  We’ve been baking up a storm the last few days.  The kiddos are out of school for a few weeks so we’ve started our Christmas baking.  The cookies I’m sharing today are one of my Grandma’s recipes.  It’s one of my favorite sugar cookies recipes… it’s got a great creamy texture and I love the hint of almond flavor.  I’ve also got some fun holiday crafts at the end of the post.

I also used a stapler to help adhere the treat bag topper once we’d filled our bags with cookies.
