It’s the holiday season! Being home for the holidays means spending time with the ones you love and spreading holiday cheer. We come to appreciate everyone around us and recognize the importance of the holidays and why we celebrate. From personal experience, I love to bake and share my sweet creations with family, neighbors and friends too. There’s nothing better than a freshly baked cookie on a cold, snowy winter day.
Prepare your taste buds and gather your ingredients while I share my favorite holiday delights with you.
Full of sweet and savory flavors, these pistachio drop cookies are unavoidable. The nuttiness and pistachio crunch give it the perfect texture of a cookie that simply melts in your mouth. Enhanced by the vanilla, these cookies are full of richness and flavor. Typically I am not a person who eats pistachios, but these cookies are an exception. You know you want to indulge in these irresistible bites!
2. Italian Biscotti These traditional Italian cookies will allow you to taste the Italian heritage. Coming from an Italian family, there is nothing better than an Italian “knot” cookie after Sunday gravy. The sweetness of the cookie with a hint of vanilla will provide you with a satisfying and warm flavor. These cookies are the classical Italian cookie and their signature twisted or knot design will make them stand out from other ordinary sugar cookies. Tie in your sweet tooth with traditions, and add this recipe to your baking list!
3. Coconut Macaroons How convenient is a six-ingredient cookie that takes 20 minutes to prepare? These coconut macaroons are sweet, chewy, and certainly toasty. The shredded coconut lightly toasts in the oven, providing it with a golden brown glow. Satisfying and simple, these treats will fill your stomach in no time.
This cookie trio will leave your mouth watering and cookie tins empty. Enjoy this holiday season!
