Naptime Recipe Serving ideas
These cookies are always a huge hit and are very easy to make. Since they are so moist they freeze well, making them perfect to stash away until you host playgroup.
Naptime Stopwatch
This dough took about 7 minutes to make, no joke. It is essential to chil the dough for two hours, but when they are ready to bake it takes only a few minutes to get your dough in balls and rolled in sugar.
