Hi all....
I think we're all interested in beautiful ideas for Christmas gift giving or attractive food to adorn our holiday tables.
While looking around the web tonight-- trying to find some really good cookie ideas, I found this great suggestion for a cookie tray (picture above). It comes from the Wilton cake decorating website. Gorgeous spritz cookies are presented in a Christmas tree cake pan and decorated with a red bow. I think this is a wonderful idea, either to give as a gift or to add to your Christmas table.
I will most certainly make these this season.
***What's your favorite Christmas cookie?
Favorite? How can I choose just one? I do love butter cookies.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Mrs. Claus, you're puttin' me to shame. Those look divine. Would also be a great gift in a pretty cookie jar. :)
ReplyDeleteSo Yummy! I agree with Patty, how can you choose! So many favorites. Some that I love are rum balls, gingerbread men and anything with coconut.
ReplyDeleteAnd you can pick up the festive tree-shaped platters in pretty golds & silvers at any of the party-supply stores for a dollar or two. I like the cookies with the cherry drops in the centers.
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas food is so limited these days, being diabetic. All the things I used to love I am no longer able to eat. Sighs.
ReplyDeleteSugar cookies or those candy cane ones!! Love them!
ReplyDeleteGood idea for a way to gift some cookies! I plan to do that this next week:))
What a cool idea! I usually make fudge (because everyone demands that I bring fudge.. old family recipe), but I may have to make some cookies this year just so I can do this!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love spritz cookies! My mother used to make them every single Christmas. You've brought back a happy memory - thank you!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that my favorite cookie is probably the sugar cookie with frosting, though. :-)
I was remembering the cookie press cookies my mother used to make every Christmas. I used to have a cookie press, but don't even know where it is now. Not sure what happened to Mother's either. I might have to revive that tradition in our family!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby just asked if I'd start in with the baking of sugar, gingerbread and molasses cookies for the holidays. And boy, do they all sound nummy!
ReplyDeletePatty- I'm with you!
ReplyDeleteAngie- I agree. A cookie jar filled with various colored cookies would be a beautiful gift.
ReplyDeleteDonna- Oh yeah, coconut, I'm with you.
ReplyDeleteJoanne- The dollar store idea is great! Love the dollar store...some good bargains there.
ReplyDeleteJeannette- I love sugar and don't know what I would do if I couldn't have it.
ReplyDeleteTerri- I made the candy cane cookies once...might do that again this year. Thanks for reminding me.
ReplyDeleteAstaryth- Fudge, especially the marshmallow kind...love it. I could eat a pound, at least, but then I'd be sick at the Christmas gathering...not a good thing. It's truly a weakness with me.
ReplyDeleteMelissa- Oh, how I love those sugar cookies with lots of frosting!! I better make those, too.
ReplyDeletePat- They're a great tradition and easy to make.
ReplyDeleteJanna- I feel like time is getting away from me,FAST. Where has all the time gone? Christmas will be here in a blink!!!! So much baking...so little time.
ReplyDeleteWell my fav is the one I can eat.Lol Love the cookies in the cake pan great idea and thanks for sharing! Blessings, Karen
ReplyDeleteKKJD1- Cookies!! I never saw one I didn't like!!
ReplyDeleteThis a fun and easy idea. Nice to use items for more than one purpose!!!
ReplyDeleteJanalyn- I think the pan could be a good and useful gift along with the pretty cookies.
ReplyDeleteFrosted sugar cookies are my very favorite. Love them. I have so slap my hands so as not to eat them as fast as they are baked.
ReplyDeleteShortbread cookies are my favorite - hands down!
ReplyDeleteSugar cookies are definitely my favorite, too.
ReplyDeleteLinda- Shortbread is definitely one of mine, too.
ReplyDeleteLinda R.- I'm glad you mentioned that. It helps me plan our cookies for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLea- If I lived closer, I'd make some just for you!! Then you could kick back and have someone else do all the work and enjoy them with your favorite beverage.
