A Special Wedding Memory
This year, my daughter-in-law and I made these together for her wedding cookie table.
It was such a special experience baking them side by side, knowing they’d be part of her big day. The cookies were a huge hit at the reception, and I love that they’ll always be part of that sweet memory.
