friday fun finds-- top christmas cookie recipes



christmas is upon us and i am baking up a storm! here are my favorite recipes of the season. enjoy!


this idea has gone viral and i am not sure where it first came from. you can bake brownies from scratch (as in the recipe link), but my plan is to buy brownie bites at costco, strawberries and icing and simply assemble. they are so easy to make and couldn't be cuter.

i think that these are a little time consuming, but they were a tradition in my home growing up. looking forward to making them. buttery and delicious.

a yearly tradition in nellie's house. fun and simple.

adorable! what fun to make with the kiddos!

you had me at paula dean. won't this make a lovely hostess gift?

mmmmmmm!

couldn't be cuter!

the fastest desert. to make and eat. they will be gone in a flash.

they are made with no egg so you (or your kiddos) can eat the dough. (not that i have ever done that--hee, hee).

so easy and so good. a great crowd pleaser.

this will be my first time making these....but don't they look heavenly?


what is *your* favorite holiday baking recipe?

  1. I love those santa hats and the melted snowman cookies. I'll have to put them on my list for next year. Our favorite Christmas cookies right now are "Minty Christmas cookies" they have bits of crushed candy cane in them as well as red and green m&m's. YUM! I think we made at least 8 batches this year!
