Whatever your age, holiday baking is a fun and special time. One of my favorites to make are Lemon Snow Bars. An easy and light recipe that looks so pretty and wintry with powdered sugar on top.
Holiday baking reminds me of special family moments with my grandmother baking all kinds of Christmas goodies to eat and to give as gifts.
Bars and cookies make perfect holiday gifts or party/potluck food because they look good and are really easy to stick into a pretty holiday container.
