Cookies are so popular at Christmas that some people start baking their cookies months in advance and freeze them for later. There are even cookie exchange parties where everyone brings a large amount of just one kind of cookie, and goes home with a variety of different cookies.
In our house, creamy shortbread cookies with a candied cherry on top were always the stars of the cookie platter. Sugar cookies with a little orange zest in them were also a staple, as were peanut butter cookies and gingerbread. We also love to buy a tin of Danish butter cookies at Christmastime, although we will eat them any time of the year.
Yum! I love all kinds of cookies!
My favourites have always been the shortbread cookies but I don’t make them often anymore. They’re too tempting!
