    We Love Christmas Cookies!

    ‘Tis the season for Christmas Cookies! Here at Bubba Pie, we LOVE to make all kinds of Christmas Treats and Holiday Desserts! But we especially love to make Christmas Cookies. There is nothing like lighting a fire in the fireplace, drinking some hot cocoa and making a whole bunch of yummy sugar Christmas Cookies. The kids love to decorate them with all sorts of frosting and sprinkles.

    While that technique is certainly fun, the end result of our cookies is pretty “abstract”. Sometimes, you may want to make a Christmas Tree Sugar Cookie that actually LOOKS like a Christmas Tree, not some sort of green rocket with brown fire shooting out of the bottom of it!
