With a LOT of help from Betty Crocker we are pulling up to speed, our Christmas baking. Use your favorite fruit preserves that you made this summer and a time-saving shaping technique for a melt-in-your-mouth holiday cookie.Or purchase your fave, I love Dalfour cherry preserves! If you use the Dalfour remember to add a touch of almond extract to your dough!
