Gingerbread Drop Cookies (Redux)

Oh my goodness, these cookies make my kitchen smell Christmas-y. I originally shared this recipe here back in 2015. Since many of you may be new around here, I thought it was worth sharing again. Why? If you love gingerbread cookies, then you will love these. If you love gingerbread cookies but don’t want to roll out cute gingerbread people shapes, then you will love these even more. These gingerbread drop cookies were a huge hit with me, my family, and friends. I gave them 5 out of 5 hats rating back when I used to rate recipes on the …

Chocolate Kiss Cookies

Every Christmas cookie box deserves at least one chocolate cookie and these beauties are it this year. If you like chocolate then you’ll love these cookies. They are a soft chocolate cookie with a chocolate candy on top. I mean, I have no words. It’s simply chocolate heaven. The nonpareil sprinkles give them a fun festive touch.

They aren’t quite as pretty but that’s …

I seem to drop an ornament or two every year when I’m decorating the tree so adding delicate ornaments to a bowl is a great way to showcase them and to hopefully avoid breaking any. Cozy means lots …

How to Mail Cookies

Baking cookies for the holidays is my thing. I love to hand out a box of assorted cookies to family and friends. I always ask them which one is their favorite, but most of the time they can’t (or won’t?) choose. Even though we weren’t able to visit with loved ones last year I was not going to let that stop me from keeping my holiday cookie tradition. So with the help of my husband, we mailed our holiday cookie boxes. It was the first time I had ever done that and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Aside from …
