Just in time for holiday baking, we’re glad to share two of Glenda’s cookie recipes! If you were at Farm Tour 2018, these are the homemade treats she shared with us there (using organic grain from Grain Place Foods, of course!)
We hope you can enjoy making and sharing some of these cookies, too. Download a printable version here.
