Hi Supermoms,

Holiday season , Baking for friends and family ,  Preparation for Christmas and holidays....My God ! It is quite a challenge to find time to update recipes in the blog. However, I wanted to share atleast the cookie recipes before Christmas.  I had made fresh strawberry jam and used up some of them in these cookies and also on the Eggless Black Forest cake that I baked very recently. Both tasted delicious.
