Hey Amy,
I have always loved your recipes and was sort of waiting for the next big Christmas recipe from you! And bang.. here it is... The best thing is that all the ingredients are right there in my kitchen cupboard and I will surely try making this Christmas Cookie today itself. Will definitely let you know how it turned out!
Also, could you pls load a microwave cookie recipe... I have never got that one right in the attempts I have made! So happy holidays :) and have a great Christmas! :)

Hi! How are you? Hope you are doing great this holiday season! Thank you so very much for watching my videos and for writing in. I truly do appreciate it. I hope you can try these cookies. They are so rich and delicious. They do take some time to make though as having to roll each cookie gets a bit tiring... but they are really worth it. A microwave cookie recipe? I will definitely look into that and see what I can come up with. I experimented with a microwave hot fudge sauce yesterday and it was a flop, ha ha. Ended up in the trash, lol. Oh well, it's fun experimenting! ;-) Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Blessed New Year! Lots of hugs!
