Did you know cookies were invented in Persia in the 7th century??
Yikes!
I wonder how many cookie recipes are in existence?
Well, since Dec 4 is National Cookie Day, I thought I’d post a round up of my holiday cookie recipes just in time for holiday baking!
I belonged to a Goodie Swap group for many years, but somehow it fizzled out a few years ago, I think we all just got too lazy busy 😂
The tree in the photo above is decorated with many tags saved from the swaps over the years, we always made our tags, and decorated the goodies like gifts
Our children always eagerly awaited the annual Goodie Swap!
These simple cookies looked very festive in decorated jars, and perfect for sharing or giving
Red Velvet Candy Cane Cookies can be iced or plain
Peppermint Snowballs are creamy and crunchy
Candy Topped Sugar Cookies for Santa are easy to make with a prepared sugar cookie dough base
Gingerbread Man Cookie Cake is a cake version of a gingerbread house
Snowy Cookie Tree made from store bought holiday cookies, is not only a breeze to make, it can be the star of your buffet!
By the way there, is a Cookie Exchange Link up party going on right now through Dec. 23 at Miz Helen’s Country Cottage link up your favorite recipes or just go over and browse!! See the collection here
