**My mom needed a recipe for a yearly holiday cookie exchange that she participates in, so we took to Pinterest and stumbled onto these beauties. They are so festive. She made them this weekend and said they are so easy to make. I taste tested them and they are equally delicious! Original Hershey's recipe found here. Pinned from Baked Perfection and pinned onto my Pinterest Holiday board. Enjoy!
