This weekend kicked off the first phase of my Christmas cookie baking frenzy. I initially only thought there would be the one phase, but I posted some pictures I had taken of the peanut butter chocolate chip cookies I made as they came out of the oven on Facebook, and was alerted by my father that he expects a batch of his own on Christmas. Naturally, another phase of the baking frenzy will need to take place on Christmas Eve so I can bring fresh cookies to my family. I will also be making a few additional batches of cookies to bring to my fiance’s family. It’s a good thing that I have discovered I really, really love to bake!

What are your favorite cookies to bake for the holidays?
The cookies look yummy. I love snowball cookies. Thank you for sharing.
Yum! I have a few recipes I always make (gingerbread, shortcake, ‘stained glass’ sugar cookies–just insert hard candy pieces for windows) but always try a new cookie recipe each year. These look fantastic! While I’m sure mine would be slightly less photogenic, I think I’ll have to try the spirals.
I would love to try the Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
