My Mom has been making these Acorn Cookies dipped in chocolate and sprinkles (or nuts) since I was a little girl and they were the treat my family looked forward to most each Christmas time. I'm now carrying on the tradition with my own kiddos, and I can tell you they get just as excited about them as I always did!

I've passed Magnolia Slastice so many times since it opened in September, wanting to go in, and finally did this morning with John Shea!
