My mother (Sharon) is known for her Christmas cookie platters. If you’re lucky enough to get one of these puppies for the holidays, you have days of scrumptious treats to look forward to. She starts baking weeks before Christmas to prepare, often baking all day to fill the freezer with cookies for Christmas. Here are the results from one such baking marathon day:
That’s my Grandma, who was helper for the day (she’s a wiz in the kitchen as well), and my Pappy, who was the official taste-tester for the day. Your eyes do not deceive you: there are at least TEN different kinds of cookies pictured in this photograph!!! I’m trying to follow in my mother’s footsteps, and my cookie party last December was a hit, but there can be only one Christmas Cookie Queen: and that title definitely goes to my mom!
Of course, we have some tried-and-true cookie recipes that make an appearance every year. Tomorrow, we’re going to share a chocolate chip cookie recipe that is to die for and will be part of the cookie roster for sure come December. So you definitely want to stay tuned for that one! And don’t worry – the infamous Nasty Jello Cookies will not be part of the cookie platters this year – or any year.
We have a ton of cookies on our list to test, though. Pinterest is definitely a blessing for finding options. I wanted to bring Pinterest to you today, right here on our blog. It’s Christmas in July! Here’s my giant list of cookies I want to test out for this holiday season:
