The best cookies are always there for you with Country Crock® and their Make It Yours™ cookie recipe. And I love that. I’m a HUGE cookie maker when the holidays roll around, but there are so many recipes that require different amounts and types of ingredients, it can turn my house into a bakery supply store. This year, instead of going through all the hassle of finding and storing a ton of ingredients, I’m using one simple recipe that I can spice up with almost anything to make the best cookies for the holidays.

It’s one easy cookie recipe that’s delicious, and all I have to do to change it up is add in a cup or two of my favorite mix-ins. That means I can make all kinds of delicious cookies without having to search the store for a ton of different ingredients. And THAT means I can make more delicious nom noms in less time and with less hassle. WIN!
