I'm all about embracing traditions, and my husband's family has a ton of them! One of our traditions happens to be the Betty Crocker cream wafer cookies. It's our 20th year together, and without fail, these cookies come out for our Christmas Eve celebrations every year. Today, I'm excited to share this tradition with y’all. Whip up these cookies whenever you please throughout the year, customize the icing to your liking, but for us, they're a staple on our Christmas table.

2 cups flour
1⁄3 cup whipping cream
