I love Christmas cookies, it my favorite Holiday Treat! I tried a new chocolate chip cookie recipe as well as a new Linzter tart recipe and they came out amazing! I don't have good pictures of all my cookies but I do have a few I can sh
The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie
Thats what it was labeled on Pinterest and boy were they right! This cookie is amazing, its also known as the NY Times Cookie , cause it was featured there and became extremely popular! I found the recipe here at Tender Crumb, please don't skip any of the steps, it is truly worth it! I will never make another Chocolate Chip Cookie again!!
Linzter Tarts and Sugar Cookies
Linzter Tarts are my favorite Holiday Cookies, they are a little tedious to make though. I need to invest in better tart cookie cutters. The ones I used work well enough but the top cookie was very delicate because it was so thin. needless to say I broke a lot of them. But practice makes perfect right!! I actually used my regular sugar cookie recipe for these,because I had made a double batch. The recipes are very similar except there are ground almonds in the original one. My sugar cookie recipe is a little on the soft side so it worked out perfect! The cookie recipe I use can be found here at Bee in our Bonnet. I have been really practicing with the sugar cookies, and it's really paying off! My Christmas ones came out very neat and almost professional looking! I still have some ways to go but I am getting better!
Melted Snowman Sugar Cookies
I made this with the leftover sugar cookie dough. I saw them on pinterest and just had to try them. I just made and odd shape cookie and frosted them white. The heads are Marshmallows I put in the microwave for 20 seconds and then placed on the cookie. I added all the accents with Royal Icing. They were super cute and easy. I only made 3, on for each of the kids. I am definitely doing these again next year!
Hope you had a Sweet Holiday!!
