This year, there was no Christmas Cookie Exchange for my friends and I (well, they might have had one, who knows!? . . . I wasn’t part of it if they did). G and I decided that it just wasn’t going to fit into the jam packed season . . . disappointing, yes, as I love to hang out with the girls and sip on bevies, but I had bigger plans.
This year, I baked the equivalency of an entire exchange all by myself.
Why would someone do this? Just to see if I could! I had christmas platter orders to fill and I thought that choosing cookies that I would like to receive would be the ones that would be best to give! After two days straight baking cookie after cookie, I was exhausted, but so happy with the results.
In my humble opinion . . . these are the favourite cookies that have been from the plate to my mouth in a while. My criteria for defining these cookies as my creme de le creme?
They must be:
A. Delicious. If you’re going to eat the calories, it better be worth it!
and B. Simple! I didn’t want to have to spend hours upon hours messing with dough and multiple steps!
So here they are . . . enjoy!
1. Sugar Cookies
These cookies are my all time favourite to have during the holidays!
I make mine with Almond Extract, as well as Vanilla Extract, and it totally makes the cookie the greatness that it is!
