There is nothing better than stepping into someone’s home during the holidays and instantly being overcome by something sweet baking in the oven. Certain smells always seem to remind of different times of year and this time of year is no exception. The scent of almond crescent cookies, gingerbread, peppermint chocolate, and a freshly peeled clementine always make me nostalgic for Christmas. I can still remember my grandmother’s colorful cookie tins sitting on the kitchen counter overflowing with so many different cookies this time of year. And of course, each tin would have that slice of white bread in it to keep the cookies from getting stale.
Last year around this time at the Main Street Inn, I was baking up chocolate dipped shortbread, jam thumbprints, chocolate chip, cranberry pecan, and peanut butter cookies for our guests to enjoy here at the Inn. This year, I will continue to make some of those yummy favorites along with a few new recipes I have been eyeing up. I searched through a lot of recipes and the following are my favorites. Enjoy!
- Mexican Wedding Cookies
- Chocolate Snowball Cookies
- Gingerbread Cookies
- Mocha Swirl Cookies
- Chocolate and Cinnamon Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Here are a few other recipes that look amazing too:
Happy Holidays!
