Christmas Cookies

I will really like to have some Christmas cookies. I am handicapped and I love to bake.

-Lucille

Hello Lucille,

I see you like to plan ahead! Well, you've come to the right place. I have plenty of wonderful Christmas cookie recipes I'm happy to share with you. How about pretty Stained Glass Star Cookies, Spiced Holiday Wafers, Chocolate Peppermint Bars, or Gingerbread Shapes?  I also enjoy Holiday Shortbread, Thumbprint Cookies, and Festive Mincemeat Squares.  And remember, it doesn't have to be Christmastime to enjoy any of these delicious treats!

 

For more Christmas recipes, head over to my Christmas Recipes page and take a look at all of my Keepsake Cookie recipes.
