Do you have an appetite for suspense — and cookies?
Not only can Mary Burton feed your appetite for suspense, but also for sweets! Once again she is happy to share with you her annual holiday recipe, this time with her original recipe, “Old Town Holiday Cookies” inspired by her upcoming release of SENSELESS (February) and MERCILESS (January), both set in and around Alexandria, VA, including the city’s famous Old Town section.
Mary takes a classic oatmeal cookie recipe and throws in a new twist, corn flakes — which means, for all you cookie fanatics out there, you have the perfect excuse to have cookies for breakfast! Whether you’re sharing them with loved ones, leaving them for Santa, or savoring them with your morning coffee, we hope you’ll enjoy Mary Burton’s "Old Town Holiday Cookies."
Thank you & Happy Holidays!
