THREE KINDS OF COOKIES

From the time I was twelve to the present,  I've been baking desserts.  My love affair with all things made out of flour was sanctioned and blessed by my Mother.

 My Mom a self taught cook and baker has given me the rare gift of creating yummy goodies that my family and friends thoroughly enjoy.

During the holidays, it has been my self-created tradition to give baked munchies to my relatives and friends. Call me old fashioned, for me the best gift you can give a love one is one that you made yourself.
