Hey there. Happy All Things Thursday!
Remember me? I know, I know…it’s been a minute. Please forgive my tardiness. I just woke up from a 4 hr nap. Naps are very necessary when you’re crazy busy. Crazy busy doing what, you ask? Making cookies, man…tons and tons of cookies.
Typically, during Christmastime, people are making cookies as gifts or for general snacking purposes. I get it…’tis the season. The thing is…I bake cookies for a living so during the holidays, when I’m baking thousands of cookies for corporate parties and the like, I’m not really into making cookies for myself.
That being said, I do love the holidays and the cookie celebration it brings. If I weren’t up to my eyeballs in dough, these are the treats I’d put on my Christmas table…
When I’m in the mood for sweet and crispy, I reach for these Chocolate Star Cookies. (Williams-Sonoma)
Little clouds of joy topped with icing? Yes, please. Italian Anise Cookies (Food)
Ah…the genius of Dorie Greenspan. Speculoos Buttons (Bon Appetit)
The perfect Sugar Cookie.
Sometimes the perfect sugar cookie needs Royal Icing. (Cupcakes and Cashmere)
What would Christmas be like without Gingerbread Snowflakes? I don’t wanna know. (Martha Stewart)
How cool would your mantle look with this Gingerbread Men Garland? Pretty freakin’ cool, man. (Donna Hay)
That’s it for me, friends. I’m taking my ginger-honey tea and heading back to bed. I hope your holiday is filled with family, friends and Irish Whiskey…and cookies, of course.
Nothing wins you friends faster than a full cookie jar.
