Every Christmas Eve my family enjoys a warm cup of hot coco while we decorate cookies for Santa. I’ve used many cookie and coco recipes but today I want to share a couple of my favorites.
I made both of these recipes with Hiland Dairy products. Hiland has the best quality dairy products.

The cookies and coco recipes that I am sharing with you today are a huge hit in my family. Hiland Dairy milk is the secret to making the the coco so creamy any rich. Hiland Dairy butter makes these cookies soft, chewy and perfect for decorating with icing and sprinkles or just eating plain.
