December 4th is National Cookie Day, admittedly, there is a day for everything under the sun it seems, but I believe cookies have a rightful place on the calendar.

If you are looking for delicious, beautiful cookies, check out these choices from native Lubbockites. Well, there is one Shallowater person but I'll not be convinced that Shallowater isn't Lubbock's hat.

Remember, supporting small businesses truly helps your neighbors build their dreams- and in return, they'll help you build yours.  When you spend on small, much more of that money stays in our local economy and therefore has a much better chance of coming back to you.
