Cookie!!

Hello Cookies

Happy Wednesday!

Now I usually do a wordless version

but this morning I figured I would talk

yeah ~ there is a lot going on in this little brain

and I do not even have turkey on my mind like most of you!

I have pulled out my recipes

and started my Christmas baking list

now I don't bake chocolate chip for Christmas

but these pictures spoke to me

kind of like 

"get off your butt if you want some of this"

not really ~ but I could hear that in my mind....

are these not just the cutest ~ you could make those anytime of the year also

in the new Canadian Living magazine

there is a recipe for these

and I just may take the plunge 

and attempt to make them!

Now for my list ~ here are the babies I will be making

to enjoy over the holidays

 Almond Fingers

this is a recipe that has passed down through the generations

Trevor is not a fan but I love them!

 Birdsnests

another family tradition

best with raspberry jam  in the center

Peanut Butter Blossoms

I started making these a few years ago

and they are great to make for a cookie exchange

they are my "go to" recipe

these are coconut/oatmeal cookies

with dates and either cherries or dried cranberries

 Shortbread

it would not be Christmas without my grandmother's 

shortbread recipe.  I usually put them through the 

cookie press but the dough can be rolled and cut too

Thumbprint

 

another fun little addition to add to the sweet tray

Oatmeal Gumdrop

I make these all year round for a change of pace

it is the same recipe as the ones above but you add

gumdrops instead of the fruit

so these are just the cookies on my list

betcha want one now!

What are your favorites?

Do you bake for Christmas?

Are there special recipes that have passed down

that you love?

do tell.....
