Today Kelly's Show Us Your Life is Christmas goodies/cookies!  I LOVE baking at Christmas time.  But I don't have a lot of time so I like to make good, quick treats!  I am going to show two today, they are both super easy and very tasty!!  Try them you will love them and they don't take any time at all to make!
