Growing up, Jesse and his two siblings would gather with their mom in the kitchen every Christmas to decorate simple Sour Cream Cookies with frosting and little edible candies, and sprinkles galore. However, his favorite cookie of all the cookies his mother made his mom made were these Candy Cane Cookies. Another holiday staple at Jesse’s house growing up were biscochitos, thick sugar cookies flavored with brandy and cinnamon and dusted in cinnamon-sugar.
