BUTTER COOKIES AS GIFTS
EGGNOG ICED BUTTER COOKIES
I grew up on butter cookies, and they are my all time favorite cookie though chocolate chip is a super close second place. So I decided to throw a fun Holiday party featuring Land O’ Lakes butter sticks in my awesome soft butter cookie recipe with a holiday twist: Eggnog Iced Butter Cookies.

These were a hit at my party. In fact, check out this fun prep video of my party HERE.
