Take my word for it, because if you see a plate of these cookies go by, grab one. Ive never seen anyone sit and probe the design, forlorn devour the cookie.

Even even though this cookie doesnt have any embellishment roughly it that resembles Christmas, as soon as a tree or Santa Claus, it is without help made stuffy the holidays. Why?
