The more cookies you make, the better. You get extra points if you are a mom. That’s because everybody knows that mom makes the best cookies!
What qualifies as “Homemade”: Making cookies from scratch is certainly homemade. And, it’s the best way to celebrate this holiday. If you use a box mix, it still qualifies as homemade. There is some disagreement, as to whether using pre-packaged store-bought cookie dough, where you slice the cookies and then bake them, is considered homemade. We will let you make that call.
It is okay to bake the cookies the night before this holiday….only if you bring them to work or a party on this holiday.
