Christmas Goodies

Every year at Christmastime, I bake. This is not something I do often the during the rest of the year. (Unless, you count baking brownies from a box or making chocolate chip cookie dough - not for the cookies, just for the dough). But, at Christmastime, I enjoy baking lots of goodies.

This year I tried two new recipes. They were both delightful...and have become my husband's new favorites. He has had the same favorite cookie, that I bake, ever since I first made it for him, which has to be at least 10 years ago. So, for him to admit to having new favorites, is huge.
The first new favorite was a Red Velvet Peppermint cookie. You can find the recipe here.

While I enjoyed the Red Velvet, this second cookie, the Easy Lemon cookie, was MY favorite. You can find the recipe here. Instead of rolling the ball of dough in powdered sugar, I opted for the lemon glaze. It was delicious!

As you can see, I do not have my own photos of these delectable treats. I made a batch of each for a party we hosted (more on that on Friday) and, by the time I wrote this post, all the cookies were gone! I will be making more before Christmas, guaranteed.
