Welcome to the first post in my holiday baking series! In this series, I will be sharing baking recipes from other bakers who love what they do and are good at it too!
Shaun and I have been friends for many years, so when I reached out about providing a holiday baking recipe for Deanna’s Recipe Box, he quickly agreed and sent over this delicious gem of a recipe.
