"Grandma has made us these wreath cookies each Christmas for as long as I can remember. She always said she was thankful to have Grandpa around to help her frost. My brother and I helped her frost cookies last year, as we remembered Grandpa Tom. These cookies are equally as special to us as they are delicious!" -Kaylor Cox
