Homemade Goods and Sweets

Homemade goodies are always a great idea when you know someone with a sweet tooth. And we know MANY friends and family members with a love of sweets. So every year we set out to have a fun baking day and gift our results to those we love.

The recipe we tried this year are some delicious Oatmeal Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies that would be amazing with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa on a cold night. Spruce up your gift by threading some ribbon through a paper plate and tie together in a bow as seen here on Simply Southern.
