Note: This year, the Cookie Walk has been moved to the second Saturday in December—December 14th!
Here are some really great Cookie Recipes for you to prepare now and freeze ready for our big day. Maybe you could make a weekly batch whilst it’s quiet before the Christmas rush. These two recipes are tried and tested and freeze extremely well.
