Christmas Cookie Memories {and 25+ Recipes}
Christmas Cookies. As I type these words….images of the plates and plates of cookies we delivered come to mind. When I say ‘we’ that would be my mom, sister and I….some 40 years ago. All homemade with love. Sarah and I are coming to appreciate the energy and time Mom gave to ‘traditions.’ We made ‘plates and plates of cookies’ and delivered them to EVERYONE. As 8 & 11 year-olds (plus or minus), who were the delivery messengers of our baking efforts, it at least seemed like we knocked on the doors of everyone we knew.

Santa Kisses Cookies
I have a well known weakness for Peppermint Bark. Completely…I do. It’s pure magic to me. I’ve stalked many a Williams-Sonoma store on free sample days. I’m the one trying to look uninterested as I saunter by the counter….multiple times. Hmm, what’s this? Peppermint Bark. Okay, if you insist. Don’t mind if I do. This one is for my daughter. Okay I’m leaving now. When Hershey’s came out with their Candy Cane Kisses they brought the essence of peppermint bark to our grocery store shelves. I embraced that. Santa Kisses Cookies in the spirit of Peppermint Bark magic.
