Christmas Cookie Workshop Photos

     On Monday, December 13th we joined with Hailey from Hails Home Bakery to bake some fantastic Christmas Cookies! She led us through the steps to make perfect chocolate dipped sugar cookies that don’t even have be refrigerated before baking! Amidst some laughs, baking stories, jokes and community Christmas spirit Hailey gave us some fantastic tips and tricks on what to take into account when baking so they turn out perfect every time. This recipe is easy for even the most beginner baker and tasty enough to temp the most experienced.
