The Cookies of Christmas Past

The aroma of chocolate is nearly overpowering my kitchen today – I am drunk on the intoxicating smell of a batch of cookies I just finished up. Those cookies? They will be here tomorrow. Today though, I want to send you back – back to this time last year, and some of the great recipes I was cooking up then. You may not have been hanging around here a whole year ago, or maybe you can’t find your way through all the intervening months, to the cookies and other treats I was blogging about last year. So, here – in one easy to find spot, are some of my favorite Christmas cookies [plus a couple from other times of year that fit right in on a holiday cookie plate], and another goodie for Christmas breakfast. You better pick up some flour on your way home!

And then – just cause I’m nice like that – here is a list so far, of this year’s Christmas cookies:
Jammin’ Thumbprint Cookies
Ginger Nut Snowballs
Sour Cherry Christmas Bars
Apple Puffs

Finally – while I am linking things up – here is a link to my collection of recipes for Thanksgiving.  You might find something there that would be right at home on your Christmas dinner table too.  I mean – you can’t eat cookies ALL the time, can you?
