I made so many cookies with Henry this year these didn’t get photographed. They turned out picture perfect though. They were chewy and had the cracks in the sugar coating and the spices tasted great. I still have some dough in the freezer. When I thaw that out for another batch I will post some pictures. For now look hard at the lower tier of the cookie stand. UPDATE: I made more with my frozen dough and took these pictures. Pretty, right?!
