Introduction
Not low-fat or low-cal, but they're so good — and they're a Christmas tradition in my family. You're either a butter cookie person or a sugar cookie person ... we go for the butter cookies (just like Kelly Ripa. Mom called me one year near Christmas, all excited that Kelly used "her" butter cookie recipe.) Not low-fat or low-cal, but they're so good — and they're a Christmas tradition in my family.
