WHO ELSE REMEMBERS ALL THEIR FAVOURITES TASTES AND SMELLS FROM CHRISTMAS PAST? CHRISTMAS COOKIE RECIPES ARE SUCH A HUGE PART OF THE HOLIDAYS – THIS YEAR, WHY NOT ADD THESE TASTY TREATS INTO THE MIX!
When looking for some inspiration this year, I began with Christmas cookie recipes. After all, is there anything better at Christmastime than the smell of freshly baked cookies coming out of the oven?
The scents of baking evoke so many wonderful memories for me and this year, I told myself I would be adding to those magical moments. I decided that my family would be getting homemade goodies this year. I’ve never had time to do it before and now, it’s “technically” work! That’s what I call a WIN!! So – where to start?
Well, I reached out to some blogging friends and dug into my own cookbooks and I’ve come up with this list of Christmas cookie recipes you NEED to make this year!
So, let’s get to it. The good stuff. Man, I’m getting hungry just thinking about it! Because I have a really small kitchen, I’m not like some people that do a marathon of baking over the course of one or two days. I’m splitting it up, trying one or two recipes a day, giving me space to work. I went out and bought myself this gorgeous mixer and I love it. It was time to retire my old machine, and a cookie round-up seemed a pretty good reason for some new hardware!
As this is the season of giving, I really wanted to give a shout-out to some fellow bloggers, so here are some of my favourite recipes, with links to their blogs:

And that is something else that I LOVE about Christmas baking – the tradition.
