GUEST POST: Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies from Hoosier Homemade

In just 23 short days, Christmas will be here! As the anticipation of the holiday builds, our schedules all get a little busier, but making time to bake cookies is always at the top of the list. Hi there, Katrina’s fans, I’m Liz from Hoosier Homemade and thrilled to be here for the I’ll Bring the Cookies Event! Whether I’m sharing a mouthwatering dessert, a crafty idea or helping you decorate your home, I STRIVE to help Moms and Women “Be Heroes to their Families”! Growing up I loved helping my Mom bake Christmas cookies, the Dining Room table was often lined with newspapers and filled with lots of different cookies. And although I loved all of the different fancy cookies at Christmas time, our family has grown to love the classics.

One of the traditions that we carry on from my Mother-in-law is setting up a treat table during the Holidays and right next to the Homemade Chex Party Mix are these Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies.

I know to some they really don’t seem too much like Christmas, but for our family they remind us of both Grandmas.
