Christmas Cookies!

A HUGE tradition for my family has always been making tons and tons of Christmas Cookies! We don't make a lot of cookies through the year, especially since they seem to get eaten too quickly! So, when we have an arsenal of cooks in the kitchen, we make a TON and share them with family and friends and enjoy them for days on end!

Now, I can't share ALL my family's cookie recipes... some need to be secrets so that people will come to our annual Christmas Eve Party craving cookies! But I did take a picture of the ones we made! I missed taking a picture of a few, but you will get the idea ;)


My favorites! White Chocolate, Macadamia, Dried Cherries


These were a new recipe for us! They are Italian Anise Cookies


Another favorite: Scandinavian Almond Cookies


Peanut Butter Kisses

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies


New this year: White-Chocolate Cherry Shortbread
