How nice to find a surprise and some history at every door of this beautiful little calendar! I loved this cookie and the cute ornament your mother gave you when I first encountered them in that earlier post. I think this cookie would be right at home on a Hanukkah cookie plate too! Thanks for brightening up every day with your posts, Jolene!
Oh, you are making me so nostalgic. It's a busy time, and I've sworn off all this, but, oh, my, do I miss my mother and my childhood just seeing the cookies and decorations. It was by far my favorite time of the year. Thank you for taking me back!
The first paragraph sent me to another time and place--childhood Christmases filled with so much tradition and joy. Thanks for these posts, Jolene. I just want Advent to slow down.🎄

Pam, what a sweet comment, thank you so much! ❤️
This sounds delicious. I'm in a house with only a manual hand whisk and it's making life hard. Any suggestions when this the only option?

My favorite childhood cookies! And I love old-fashioned Advent calendars. 🎅🎄✨️
