Karie has been a long time friend of my kids. She loves baking and is sharing her all time favourite Christmas cookie as we zoom bake together during this pandemic year.
Karie typically mixes white and semi sweet chocolate and a combination of chocolate chips and chunks. She makes it more festive by using Christmas coloured Rice Cereal.
After my baking session with Karie and taste testing these cookies I can see why it is her favourite!
