As I reflect back on the year, I am especially grateful for the support of my friends and family. This was a big year for me! I took a huge leap of faith by quitting my ‘normal’ job to transition into blogging full-time! It brings me so much joy to share my favorite recipes with you!

This is a classic recipe made into a bite-size cookie, making them super easy to just pop into your mouth! They also fill in open spaces on a cookie tray. They compliment Sugar Cookie Fudge , Gingersnap Cookies , and Almond Bark Clusters nicely!
