These classic sugar cookies will instantly evoke my warm Christmas memories. Homemade Christmas cookies can be the best gift you can give your friends during the festive season.
My mom’s close friend made these cookies and gifted us during Christmas when I was 8 or 9 years old. The Christmas father fascinated me so much that for all Christmas we make these cookies at home.
The sugar cookies are very simple to make and can be made in microwave within minutes!!!
