Product Description

Do you have a favorite Christmas cookie? Is it made of chocolate or spice? Is it an iced and decorated sugar cookie or a molasses ginger round? Or maybe it's a crisp, chocolate-covered toffee bar or a jam-filled Linzer sandwich cookie. There are so many choices!

Christmas cookies are loved for their special shapes, cheery colors, and seasonal flavors. They bring joy to our gatherings, help preserve the magic and tradition of the holiday season, and make heart-warming gifts. Christmas Cookies offers fifty wonderful recipes for holiday treats, such as light-as-air Cocoa Meringue Kisses, Chocolate Peppermint Cookies that perfectly complement a mug of hot chocolate, sweet-tart Iced Lemon Rounds, the much-beloved classic Pecan Sandies, Ginger Coins with the right amount of snap, and many, many more.

Avid holiday baker Lisa Zwirn baked hundreds of cookies to come up with these fabulous fifty recipes. There is something for everyone: treats for chocoholics, holiday shapes that children will love (that can be baked and decorated by the little ones, too), luxurious sandwich cookies, and plenty of spiced rounds, buttery wafers, and decadent bars.

Christmas Cookies will also show you how to make the most of your time in the kitchen with these useful tips and ideas:

Cookie baking guidelines for successful baking
Options for freezing dough so you can bake cookies when the mood strikes
Storage suggestions to help keep treats fresh for as long as possible
Child-friendly recipes, such as Peanut Butter Chocolate Kisses, Chocolate Caramel Thumbprints, Gingerbread People, and Molasses Ginger Cookies, which are easy and fun for beginners
The best cookies to mail and how to wrap them
How to host a holiday cookie swap and cookie-decorating party

Whether you've baked Christmas cookies for years or are just starting a tradition of holiday baking, you'll find all the recipes you need right here. Christmas Cookies is an essential collection for the cookie baker, featuring color photographs, clear, detailed recipes, and irrepressible Christmas spirit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yummy and creative!, December 4, 2008

By	Jeri Nevermind "loves to read" (Idaho) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Just looking at the pictures in this book is enough to make your mouth water. Let me just tantalize you with a few of the wonderful recipes in here: Rocky Road Bites (p 126), Sacher torte Bars (p 116), Apricot Almond Bars (p 106), Chocolate Carmel Thumbprints (p 97, )Hazelnut Biscotti, Pecan Butterballs (p 70), Eggnog Cookies (p 61) and Sugar Cookies with Stained Glass (p 49).

In these tough economic times, I really appreciate a book like this. What could be nicer and more Christmasy than giving everyone a plate of your own homemade Christmas cookies?

The recipes are great! You will really like this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for bakers, November 15, 2008

By	Judy Gelman and Vicki Levy Krupp - See all my reviews

This is the book for your holiday baking, that you'll also use year round. Every cookie has been delicious, from Eggnog Cookies to Chocolate Crinkles - there's a cookie here for everyone. Organized by cookie type, it also provides excellent tips for baking, chilling and freezing and storing - and best of all, packaging cookies for gift-giving. It makes a wonderful holiday gift to give along with the cookies!
