I usually take part in 2 every year, one with the awesome momstown mamas and one with a group of long time friends. That's a whole lot of baking!! It's so much fun to get in the festive spirit and bake cookies, usually with the kids!
Getting together with the girls is always fun but when you get some delicious cookies in there it's just that much better!
Over the years we have seen some pretty awesome and delicious cookies. Every year I have a favorite, last year was an Oreo truffle like cookie, to die for!! This year, one of the momstown mamas made a Fruit Jumble cookie that I just fell in love with.... and I am using this amazing recipe!
Thanks to Jenn S. for letting me share this recipe with you! I hope you enjoy it!!
