Some of Shaina Jewett’s, from our Shoreline market, fondest childhood memories are bonding over these holiday cookies as a family. Now she carries on the tradition making this recipe with her own children. The cookie dough is super tasty and incredibly friendly to work with! *Requires 1 hour of chill time.

In a bowl with a hand mixer or a stand-up mixer with paddle attachment cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
