Christmas Cookies: 50 Recipes to Treasure for the Holiday Season by Lisa Zwirn

Christmas is a holiday that has different meanings to different people. In some cultures, Christmas is celebrated with traditional cakes, pies and bread, but, none of these foods are as popular as Christmas biscuits. Delicious Christmas biscuits have become a symbol of holiday cheer, enjoyed by children and adults, baked by novices and professionals, and used as a token of love and care.

Recipes may reflect age-old family or cultural traditions, or they may be more recent ones that have become part of annual celebrations. Traditional spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and sweeteners such as molasses, honey, and maple syrup give the treat a rich flavour and wonderful aroma.

What could be more fun than baking a batch of delicious biscuits and eating them with friends and family?
