Countdown to Christmas - Day 3 - Cookie Recipe

I've had a few people ask about the cookies we made for Day 3 of Advent. They were AWESOME! So yummy!! Even Alex had a cookie!

The recipe I used was from YUM FOOD and FUN FOR KIDS. I found this magazine in my doctor's office one day and thought it was the coolest thing ever. So far, I have only found it at Publix.
