Last week I baked a few different kinds of cookies. There's just something about cookies and Christmas that click, don't you think? I love baking Christmas treats! Put on my favorite music and an apron, and I could stay in the kitchen all day! ;)
Have a blessed Christmas week!

Ohh, the cookies look so yummy! Yeah, whenever I think of Christmas, baking comes to mind.
Yum!! I'll be doing some baking probably on Thursday.
They look GREAT! Please share the name of the ones with crushed candy cane? My kids would love to make those this year!
Kathy, here's the recipe for the candy cane cookies. :)
Candy Cane Thumbprints
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
2/3 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1-1/2 c. all-purpose flour
Garnish with finely crushed peppermint candies
With an electric mixer on low speed, blend butter, sugar, and salt. Mix in egg and vanilla. Beat in as much flour as possible; stir in remaining flour. Cover, chill for one hour. Shape into one-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges. Remove from oven; make a thumbprint in each cookie with thumb. Cool. Pipe filling into centers; sprinkle with crushed candy. Makes about 3 dozen.
