Cookies & Cream
Cookies & Cream
On Christmas Day, my entire family usually gets together for a family feast. We start around lunchtime and typically do not say our goodbyes until well after dinnertime. There's always one dish that we can count on being placed on the dessert table-Cookies & Cream.
We refer to this dish as Cookies & Cream as opposed to banana pudding because the family members who do not care for bananas far outnumber those who do.
