I make a variety of cookies each year that I send or give to family and friends. I’d kind of like to stop the tradition, but I’m stuck now.
The ones I always make are:
peppermint bark
chewy pecan squares
Christmas tree shortbread
chocolate covered peanut butter balls (with rice krispies inside)
wrapped caramels
Recently I added lemon coconut shortbread cookies with a glaze and red/green sprinkles and those have been a big hit. While everyone has their favorite, it does seem like the overall winner would be the Christmas tree shortbread with raspberry jam. Very labor intensive but always loved, I’ve been making them for probably 25 years. I also made this star bread last year and the family liked it a lot.
I might have to give those pistachio shortbread cookies a try. They sound great!
