It’s that time of year cookie season; no wait, Christmas cookie season! My kid’s favorite part of the holiday is making cookies for our friends and family and for Santa. We always try to make at least one new cookie every year; I have no idea how my mother did it in the days before Pinterest.

Every year we make our go-to sugar cookies, but adding new ones to our rotation is fun! Hands-down cookies with cookie cutters will always be Isabella’s favorites to leave for Santa. I am always looking for new ideas to out for the holidays.

Jenny-I just had to come back again & post that I had more time to really look at all of these Christmas Cookies & I Did Copy a few New Ones for me to make this year. I have my usual Go To Cookies & Bars; but I love to try new things & usually try to make 3-5 new things per/yr. I copied the following: Cherry Blossom Cookies-Yum, I really like the idea of These particular Melted Snowman Cookies-they are easier to assemble & still look great! Also the Cran-Pistachio Cookies will be a real hit with the in-laws & party goers. And these Insanely Delicious Turtle Cookies look great too, in a thumbprint style! Well- I have my work cut out for me. I’m Fixin to make Pumpkin Shaped Cupcakes with my new pan. Making Several Favors of Cake & Buttercream Flavored & Colored Frostings with Pretzel Stick Stems! Thanks So Much Jenny For Starting Out With Christmas Early!You can never be Too Prepared!
