For those of you active in the Twitter world, it’s probably no surprise to you that Ree Drummond (a.k.a. @thepioneerwoman) has declared it Cookie Week. On Monday, she asked her followers to post links to their favorite cookie recipes and include the #CookieWeek hashtag. To those unfamiliar with Twitter, hashtags are popular on Twitter because writing space is limited but people can associate their tweets with an event without having to explain the full context.
Since I am a huge fan of Ree Drummond’s blog and Tasty Kitchen, I decided to get involved and share my all-time favorite Chocolate Christmas Cookie recipe. In fact, I’ll actually be baking them up next week and taking them to a cookie exchange on Dec. 10.
What’s your favorite cookie recipe? Feel free to comment below or join the conversation on Twitter by using the #CookieWeek hashtag with your recipe.
