Christmas Church Windows
One of my favorite things about old churches are the gorgeous stained glass windows. Ever since I was a little girl I had a dream of getting married in one of those beautiful churches during the winter. I mean, how gorgeous would it be to look out a stained glass church window and see the snowflakes delicately falling down. My first Christmas away at college I went to a cookie exchange party, where everyone shared their favorite holiday recipe. One of my dearest friends shared a recipe for Church Windows. They were simple and easy to make, but meant everything to me. I haven\’t made Church Windows in years, but after everything that has happened in the past year I decided it was the perfect year to make these gorgeous cookies and I cannot wait to share them with my friends and family.
