Snickerdoodle & Fudge Christmas Baking

Made Snickerdoodle cookies and fudge for friends we call my daughter's TX grandparents. Both my parents & my hubby's parents are deceased. The two people I gave the Christmas treats to have been friends with us before my daughter was born for 21+ yrs, they were at the hospital when she was born and have remained friends even though they moved from being next door neighbors to neighbors couple blocks away. They like Nutcrackers so I used scraps of Nutcracker paper on lid.
