Almost at the halfway point for our 25 Days of Holiday Cookies. And you know what they say: A cookie a day keeps the, um, Grinch away.
Southerners love ambrosia, a sumptuous mélange of sliced juicy-sweet oranges and freshly grated coconut. The salad has been a part of southern Christmas traditions for the better part of two centuries.
Southerners also love sweets. Cookies, specifically. And they have been a part of our Christmas traditions for...ever.
