Cooking and baking for the holidays is a tradition for many. Whether it is cookies and candy for Christmas or latkes and kugal for Hanukkah, many cultures enjoy special foods around major holidays. Decorated sugar cookies are always a favorite of ours.
I’m still looking for a really good cut-out sugar cookie recipe. (Do you have one you like?) They are a big tradition in both our families.
We make a few almost every year to enjoy over the holidays. We sometimes do elaborate decorations (I once worked as a professional cake decorator!) but usually we just let our inner children out to play and have a good time.
One of the best parts of making cut out cookies at our house is the cookie cutters. We have some from when Walt was little, including a fish that his dad made!
That’s not to say that we don’t make other types of cookies or deserts when we need to take things to a shared meal.
I also had some fun trying out a Bundt cake recipe with chocolate and peppermint.
As we wrap up our second (second?!?) year on the blog, we want to wish all our readers a happy holidays and blessings for the new year.
