Jessica’s mom Debbie has been making Polish horn cookies for about 40 years and they are one of Jessica’s favorites.

Debbie makes these cute pastries every holiday season.

Jessica never made them with her mom, she just ate them, she admitted. But this holiday season, the two gals got to make them together!

Debbie, Jessica and Jessica’s dad were happy with the results.
