Christmas Wishing Cookies
by Joanne Bellezza-Loughlin from Bridgewater, NJ
Slightly crisp and full of Christmas spices, this is a delicious Christmas cookie. The blend of spices and molasses made them similar to a gingerbread cookie. We love the tradition of breaking the cookie and making a wish. A yummy and easy cookie for your holiday dessert table, cookie exchange, or even for gift giving.
