All Christmas Cookies
Every Christmas, as the days lead up to the holiday, I am overly conscious, not of presents or visiting or even Christmas cards, but of Christmas cookies. I know without a doubt that I need to bake a few dozen for various get together’s and for the evening when Santa makes his trip around the room.
I mean, what would Santa say if I didn’t have a wonderful plate of Christmas Cookies beside the Christmas tree for him to enjoy. Actually, knowing Santa personally, I know without a doubt that he would probably thank me and I also know that Santa likes to slip a few of those cookies back into the cookie jar.
Of course, this still doesn’t stop me from gathering both my children and all the ingredients to the kitchen table and making a few dozen cookies. It has become a cherished tradition that we do at home and I find that I like to try to find a new recipe each year to try. There are so many different Christmas cookie recipes out there like sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies and more exotic cookies like Spumoni Slices.
Sure, I still like to bake the old stand-by’s like Chocolate Chip Cookies and Peanut Butter Cookies, a personal favorite of Santa’s, but it is fun to try something different and I am always on a search for that recipe.
And that is where this site comes in. Here you can find a ton of amazing recipes, all celebrating the time of year that can be affectionately called the baking season. We have the old classics like traditional sugar cookies and mouth-watering Chocolate Chip Cookies but we also offer many recipes that are not as traditional but just as delicious.
We also offer tons of advice on making Christmas cookies and a few interesting facts about them. You don’t really need to like cookies yourself but after perusing our many recipes, you will be overjoyed with the chance to bake them.
So what are you waiting for? Let the warm, delicious, scents of the season fill your home and start preparing those baskets of cookies to hand out to everyone you know. Remember, ‘tis the season to be baking.
