Inside:20 Easy Christmas Cookie Recipes to keep it simple this season
Some of my best childhood Christmas memories are those of baking (and eating) our family Christmas cookie recipes with my mom. Christmas cookies were a BIG deal in my family and we often had at least a dozen different kinds to choose from. My favorites were cut-out cookies that we’d then frost with a homemade frosting of powdered sugar, milk and food coloring. I’d spend hours decorating my cookies and was as proud of them as I was of any work of art I created.
Sometimes I’d squirrel away my most favorite Christmas cookie creations and hide them in my dollhouse. My mother would find them months later and just shake her head at me and laugh.
Our family Christmas Cookies recipes were some of our most prized possessions and have been handed down for generations. But I know in today’s busy and bustle of the holiday season, making Christmas cookies can seem like a chore. Don’t give up on this seasonal tradition, just keep it simple. You don’t need to make a dozen different kinds. We’ve pulled together 20 easy Christmas cookie recipes. Pick just one or two and turn those into your family favorites.
