As the weather gets colder and holiday decorations light up the night, the smell of sweet treats begin to float through the air. Not only used as gifts, cookies bring families, friends, and strangers together. Traditions and recipes are passed down from generation to generation, and family members reconnect. Listed below are some cookie recipes that I found delicious and fun to make!
Almond flavor cookies that are pressed with the baker’s thumb, these cookies are fill with all types of jams or currants. Whether you like strawberry and a family member, or partner, likes blackberry, these cookies can be made to fit everyone’s tastes!
A cookie that literally melts in your mouth. Dotted with sprinkles, these are fun cookies to make—especially if you have kids! Not only can you have vanilla-flavored cookies, but you can also add almond or orange extract, if you so desire.
A family favorite, we make these every year. Soft and gooey, it’s almost like eating fudge covered in powdered sugar! Much like the butter cookies, these are easy to make if you have children who want to help. You can even add sprinkles and other decorations!
A holiday staple, gingerbread cookies are delicious with and without icing! Fun to decorate, you can cut these cookies into different shapes and designs. What I like is that these cookies don’t taste too gingery! But if you like ginger, you can always add more.
