This post was sponsored by Country Crock®. All opinions are my own.
Have you tried the Country Crock® Make It Yours™ Cookie Recipe yet? If you haven’t tried it you don’t know what you’re missing. I’ve made several different recipes with it by adding a few mix-ins to each recipe and I’ve gotta tell you, I love it. It’s easy and you’re totally in charge of making the flavor you want.
It’s the only recipe you’ll need this holiday season. All you have to do is add a cup or two of mix-ins and you can create your own recipes. Santa is in for a treat because he’s getting a basket full of these Peanut Butter Baby Bear Cookies to take back to the North Pole so he can share with Mrs. Clause. I’m even sending her the recipe so she can make them all year long and share with the elves.
Over the last several days we’ve used the simple Make It Yours™ Cookie Recipe to make Papa Bear Claw Cookies, Mama Bear Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, and now we’re adding Peanut Butter Baby Bear Cookies. I honestly can’t believe how simple it is to adjust the recipe by adding a few mix-ins. Each cookie recipe has the classic flavors we know and love and the recipe is so easy that anyone can create delicious cookies to share for the holidays.
