Photo SourceIt's time for me to get out my cookie cutters... To brace myself for an impending flour snowstorm... To walk gently on a buttery ice rink of a kitchen floor... To consider my to-do list incomplete unless it concludes with five dozen gingerbread men... And to consider cookies the mainstay of my diet.
It's holiday cookie time.
What I'm thinking, or hoping, rather, is that you may be in the same sugary situation. If so, here are some fantastic cookie recipes that the Foodista community is baking up this holiday season! Bake a few dozen to parcel as gifts, in festive boxes or bags tied with colorful ribbons. Hoard some for yourself. Tote a trayful of sweets to any party you attend! You'll be in the good graces of nearly everyone you know, especially Santa.
