Do you have traditions at this time of year? Well for us, it’s the time of year when we begin our baking tradition. Christmas is a time for easy recipes, yummy sweets and crazy busyness. Time to get out all of my old tried and true recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. This is one of the few “healthy” traditions that were passed down to me and I am thankful for that!
These Christmas Gumdrop Cookies are one of those old recipes. I think you will love them… I know your kids will!
