NSCC alumni – your transformational strides and contributions in community and industry year-round are gifts that keep on giving. We hope you find time to celebrate the season in whatever way means most to you.
To bring a little festive fun this season, we called on baking connoisseur Cait Holmes (Boulangerie and Baking Arts '14), Owner of Honey & Butter, and she shared a delicious and easy to make sugar cookie recipe for you to try at home. Through her one-woman pop-up bake shop in Dartmouth, Cait bakes the world a butter place with delicious sweets like these cookies.
