Okay friends, it is OFFICIALLY the holiday season – so you know what time it is… It is COOKIE TIME! Now, if this is too early for you to celebrate the holiday season, well – then ignore anything we write regarding “holiday”, and just skip to the recipe. What recipe? Funny you should ask – today, we are baking chocolate chip cut-out sugar cookies! You are so right, it is a blend of your two favorites and ours, the one and only chocolate chip cookie and her sister, the sugar cookie.
