Butterscotch Haystack Cookies
Post 12 of 12 in my 12 Days of Christmas Recipes Series – Butterscotch Haystack Cookies The first time I tried these “cookies,” they were in a gift box of delicious goodies prepared by my good friend Nate. (You can find some of his other fab creations over at his blog, Highly Reactive). This was…… Continue reading Butterscotch Haystack Cookies
Christmas Sugar Cookies
Post 10 of 12 in my 12 Days of Christmas Recipes Series – Christmas Sugar Cookies I know that I have posted a recipe for sugar cookies before, but that was forever ago. A lifetime. Back when this blog was a “youngin.” A whole 5 months ago! *sniffs* Seems like just yesterday… Anyway, I’ve been…… Continue reading Christmas Sugar Cookies
Candied Walnuts
Candied Walnuts Post 9 of 12 in my 12 Days of Christmas Recipes Series – Candied Walnuts These candied walnuts are great snacks on their own, but you can also add them to salads, use them as toppings on pies/cakes/cheesecakes, and more.

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Post 8 of 12 in my 12 Days of Christmas Recipes Series – Chocolate Crinkle Cookies These cookies are similar to brownies with a slightly crisp “shell” and chewy inside.

To make approximately 20 cookies,…… Continue reading Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

You could use chocolate chips instead if you aren’t a fan of Andes mints, or white chocolate chips, or walnuts, or… you get…… Continue reading Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies
Chewy Spicy Ginger Cookies
Post 4 of 12 in my 12 Days of Christmas Recipes Series – Chewy Spicy Ginger Cookies Yes, two adjectives ARE necessary in order to express the title of these cookies, in case you’re wondering. These cookies, I have to say, turned out magnificently. I love a spicy ginger cookie, and with three types of…… Continue reading Chewy Spicy Ginger Cookies
Cinnamon Palmiers
Post 2 of 12 in my 12 Days of Christmas Recipes Series – Cinnamon Palmiers The first palmier cookie I ever ate was at a Chinese restaurant. Weird, huh? I’m not quite sure why palmiers seem to be a dessert buffet staple at Chinese restaurants, since the cookie is actually of French origin. I’m not…… Continue reading Cinnamon Palmiers
Chocolate-Covered Cherry Cookies
To kick off my 12 Days of Christmas Recipes “event,” I want to share with you the recipe for my husband’s favorite cookie in the entire world. It’s pretty high up there on my list as well! The first time I tried this cookie, my friend Kelly made them when we were college (hi, Kelly!).…… Continue reading Chocolate-Covered Cherry Cookies
