As the holiday season approaches, I have been thinking about all of the holiday traditions my family has, from decorating the tree together to opening one gift on Christmas Eve. My sister and I still don’t live too far from our parents, so we keep up most of our traditions to the day. One of my favorites (and I’m sure this comes as no surprise) is food-related: assembling trifles and baking cookies with my mom.
For as long as I can remember, a few Saturdays before the holidays, my mom would turn on Christmas carols and call us into the kitchen to help bake dozens of cookies – chocolate chip, peanut butter, and oatmeal were always on the list.
So even though I haven’t lived home in years, I still go over to my parent’s house to bake cookies. They don’t seem to mind it too much. 🙂
My mom and I did a test run this weekend (you can never have too many cookie baking weekends!) and made some Oatmeal Cookies with M&M’S® Holiday Baking Minis.
We usually deliver the baked goods to neighbors, so using Glad® Holiday Packaging adds a nice touch.
