Welcome everyone! It’s time again to #FillTheCookieJar!
Every month our #FillTheCookieJar cookie loving group meets to share our best cookies and bars to fit the theme. This month we’re showcase recipes with a patriotic theme!
Thank you Cynthia Landrie from Feeding Big at http://FeedingBig.com for hosting this fun event!
It’s true July 4th has passed and patriotic cookies and recipes seem to have flooded the airwaves.
These lemony cutouts can be made in any shape or color. Au naturel works great too ;)!
