Citrus always brightens up a dreary winter day. These Orange Drop Cookies with Orange Cream Icing are the perfect bits of edible sunshine for the winter!

I was lying in bed last night, my mind wandering to this and that, when I realized that Dine & Dish had an anniversary last month and I totally forgot about it! Yes – Dine & Dish turned NINE in November and like an old married couple, I totally let her special day go by without even a word to celebrate. How rude of me!

Obviously, turning 9 means a lot more to me than my lack of acknowledgement shows. Friends… NINE years of blogging is a big thing and I am so thankful to you all for sharing in this journey with me for so long! I had no idea when I started Dine & Dish 9 years ago that it would turn into what it has today. Who knew back then that blogs would grow in popularity, numbers, and be more common place than not? I certainly didn’t. In fact, nine years ago, when I would mention writing a blog, I’d often be met with blank stares… no one knew what blogging was. Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter were non-existent. It was an entirely different online world back then than it is now.

I’ll be honest, parts of me mourn those days – the good old days – but other parts of me are incredibly appreciative of the opportunities sent my way because blogging has become more mainstream. It’s one of those things where I fondly look back on the old days, but also lovingly look ahead to the future of blogging. A lot of exciting things are happening in this space for a lot of people.

I’m sharing the secret behind a family favorite cookie recipe, and making traditions with the youngest members of the family. This is a Hallmark Life is a Special Occasion story.

The holiday season, especially, seems to be prime time for sharing family recipes. Loved ones gather together, over food, and before the end of the day someone is saying “Those were so good! Can I have the recipe?”

My late Aunt Dee used to bring the best cookies to our holiday celebrations. They were round sugar cookies with a thin, white icing and decorated with green leaves and red hot holly berries. We all loved them, but my sister Kathy was the biggest fan. Every holiday she would ask my Aunt for the recipe and every holiday my Aunt would deny her request, saying “It’s a secret family recipe”….
