We got into the spirit of Christmas early this year. We've already sat on Santa's lap, we've learned and sung Christmas carols to the point of humming them throughout the day, and we've eaten far to many holiday cookies! We've created some of our own family traditions over the years and a Holiday Cookie Crawl has been a great addition to the fun.
We visit bakeries around the North Shore to sample what they have to offer in the holiday cookie department. There are more than a few local bakeries that bake delicious holiday-themed cookies with recipes far to good to miss.
