“Each year, I made cookies with my sister
and grandma around the holidays. Somehow
we pumped out over 12 different varieties
each year in her tiny kitchen. We lost my
grandma on January 3, 2020, but we will
continue to make these and many other
cookies to honor her for many years and
generations to come.”
