Christmas Cookies

Happy New Year! Soooo I'm a little late, but I wanted to a run-down of some of the cookies I made for Christmas this year.


New cookies this year: Nutmeg Maple Butter Cookies from Smitten Kitchen. Salty, buttery, sweet - yum! Seriously addictive.


Vanilla Bean Spritz. One of my favorites from childhood.


Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies with Cherries and Pecans from the Kitchn. One of my new favorites. I'm not usually a big fan of chocolate chips in my oatmeal cookies, but somehow when you add the cherries and the pecans and the chocolate chips it just works.


Italian Rainbow Cookies - my favorite cookie ever (they're actually more like cake, but they're cookie sized so they count in my opinion).


And not cookies or baking, but still filled with sugar and butter - Salted Caramels from eat make read. I think this is my first successful attempt at caramels.

Also made this year, but all gone now:
My Mom's Sugar Cookies (in the shape of NJ and unicorns)
Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies
Marlow and Sons Brown Sugar Walnut Shortbread - (awesome, try sprinkling some salt on top with the sugar)
