I just love how Martin's Food Market store is set up, and how easy it is to find the Christmas aisle with baking products, cookie mix, and more! I don't know about you, but my husband just loves to bake cookies at Christmas time and I'm not just talking about 1 - 2 dozen cookies, I'm talking about 10 dozen cookies so far. Usually, he said that he makes about 50 - 100 dozen cookies between November and January. This year, we have given some to the cub scouts when our son had a get together for Christmas caroling at two nursing homes.
He also took some to girl scouts for our daughter, when she went Christmas caroling with her Daisy's at a local older folks home of apartments. We will be taking a lot to my sister in law's house on Christmas Eve when we have dinner over there with nieces, nephews, and my in laws. The first picture is only a small amount of many varieties of cookies we made. These are oatmeal raisin cookies. He does all of the cookies from scratch, so we bought all the products needed for the cookies at Martin's to make the batches. They're good too!
A good tradition that I've always done for Christmas time is to have chips and cheese dip for Christmas festivities! We wanted to try the Martin's brand of cheese for the cheese dip this time, and then of course medium salsa. It's delicious and I highly recommend it! I love cheese dip with a little bite to it, so that's why we use medium salsa. We bought Scoops chips to go with it.
How nice of your husband to bake cookies to share with the whole community! Such a great way to give back this holiday season!
