I am a huge fan of holiday dessert recipes and any holiday specific treats and sweets. Creating these recipes and sharing them with friends and family really help the holiday season to last longer.
It almost feels like you have more time to celebrate, but it could be because you are being more intentional celebrating the little moments in life.

Cadbury Sugar Cookies Recipe
Here’s What You Need:
1 Package of Sugar Cookie Mix (& Ingredients to make it according to the back of the package – my package needed 1 egg and 1 stick of butter)
8 oz Cream Cheese
1/2 Stick of Butter
1 1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
Food Coloring
Cookies:
Prepare cookies using directions on the back of the package.
Create 1” Balls and press the balls down in the center and build up the edges so that you make a “birds nest”. You will want the bottom of the cookies to be very thin.
Bake at 350 degrees for 7-8 minutes or until the edges start to lightly brown. Do not over cook.
Remove from oven and leave the cookies on the baking sheet.
Press the cookies down in the center before they cool so that they keep the “birds nest shape”.
Allow cookies to cool completely.
