Day 9 of the 25 Days of Cookies! It’s also the 2nd Sunday of Advent. This Christmas season is flying by! Last night we took the kids to look at Christmas lights around our area. First Daddy treated them to hot chocolate, which they finished before we ever made it out of the gas station parking lot and then we drove around to see lights. They were pretty tired and only Buddy made it the whole time, but by the time we reached the last house he said “Can we go home now?” So, on to today’s cookie: This has been my husband’s favorite cookie so far. I’ve gotten nothing but compliments on it. I’m pretty proud of it, because I took a chance and made it up! Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies! Be aware these cookies are pretty moist. You may want to store them in the refrigerator.
