If you are anything like me, you have mixed feelings about the upcoming holiday season. On one hand, I am so excited that I can hardly sleep! On the other hand I get super stressed because there is so much to be done that I can hardly sleep! My holiday baking plays a big part in both reasons I can’t sleep.
Country Crock® has always been a staple ingredient in my kitchen. So when I found out about their Make It Yours™ Cookie Recipe I was beyond thrilled! It’s the only cookie recipe you’ll ever need! It is the perfect cookie base that is super easy and makes a ton of cookies. Plus, you can add 1-2 cups of your favorite mix-in ingredients to customize your cookies. It felt like Santa came early and made all my holiday wishes come true!
For my cookie creation, I wanted to take one of my all-time favorite holiday candy, turtles, and transform them into a cookie! YUM!! It was so easy to do! All I needed was 3 mix-in ingredients.

I’m so glad that Leigh Anne from Your Homebased Mom asked me to share this recipe. The possibilities really are endless with one easy recipe from Country Crock®. I’d like to keep spreading the holiday joy by asking my friend Brett from This Mama Loves to show everyone how she plans to mix it up!
