The one (and only) thing on my agenda today is baking spritz cookies with my mom. These have been my favorite Christmas cookies for as long as I can remember. The recipe comes from this old school Betty Crocker Cooky Book, which is full of lots of other delicious baking ideas, too.

A few years ago, I finally got my own Wilton cookie press to make my own, but it’s still just a little more fun to make them up here at my parents’ house. (Mostly because my dad cleans all the pans after we make a huge mess.) Also, since I’m technically on vacation up here, I won’t feel guilty when I consume about 20 of them during the baking process…
