this recipe and instruction is by food network. wanted to bake my friends some sugar cookies to surprise them! I baked some halloween and christmas themed! the chocolate drizzle and red orange sprinkles play into thanksgiving colors! it’s okay to make cookies that aren’t “made healthy”! its okay to make them. it’s okay to enjoy them. it’s okay to love them. like @chloe.foods said, sometimes you need to nourish the body, sometimes you need to nourish the soul.
