As I write this post, we’re just days away from Christmas. Have you finished all your food preparations for the big event? I just finished doing the last of my baking.
Armed with some coupons to buy some Challenge Butter at the store, some Good Cook bakeware and a huge assortment of holiday recipes to choose from on the Challenge Butter website, I took butter to the maximum and decided to make a traditional favorite around here; shortbread cookies. Of course if you know our family, it’s not a celebration without something Disney thrown into the mix, so we cut the cookies out into Mickey head shapes…and then got creative and made a few Rudolphs too!
