Top 10 Christmas Cookies

It’s Christmas cookie baking season! I’ve made a bazillion (give or take 😉 ) kinds of cookies over the years and it gets harder and harder to find new ones that are worth sharing here. Don’t worry, I do have new ones in store, so stay tuned. This year I thought I’d kick off the cookie fest with a round up of my top 10 of Christmas cookies from Tina’s Chic Corner (in no particular order). Think of it as a one stop shop for all your cookie recipe needs. Enjoy! I love to bring a huge tray of cookies …

Christmas 2022

Welcome to our home for the holidays! The kitchen is a busy room in our home, especially this time of the year with all of the cookie baking.

I focused on neutrals and nature. I bought this table …

No wonder why these have gotten me into the …

I always move things around until I get them just right. However, I had a vision for this area and I got it right the first time. I wanted my collection …

Gingerbread House Mug Topper

Have you heard of gingerbread house mug toppers? If you’ve never heard of these before, they are miniature gingerbread houses that conveniently sit on a mug of your favorite beverage. I first saw gingerbread house mug toppers a few years ago in a chain retail store. They were ridiculously expensive (and still are) so I figured that I could make them for way cheaper. Fast forward to today, I finally tried making them from scratch. You will need: Guys, I’m horrible at frosting stuff. My gingerbread house experiences consist of graham crackers and an empty milk carton from school lunch …
