Butter, flour, eggs, sugar — it’s amazing how these basic ingredients have forged so many sweet memories over the years. It just doesn’t feel like the holidays without your favorite homemade cookies or cakes. Holiday baking can be a family project or your personal quiet time, but after spending an afternoon in the kitchen, you’ll have yummy treats for gift giving, cookie swapping or just enjoying at home with a glass of milk.
