The staff of the Los Angeles Times Food section has selected 50 of their favorite holiday cookies from the last decade. They come from a wide range of sources - from world-famous pastry chefs to home cooks.
There are recipes for chocolate cookies and gingerbread cookies and cookies made with nuts and candied fruit. There are even a couple of candy recipes. Some recipes are so simple they can be made by young children while others will be entertaining projects for even the most experienced home bakers. And every recipe has been tested and re-tested in the Los Angeles Times Test Kitchen until they are as foolproof as possible.
