Christmas Cookie Recipes

I don't know that I would have called these spicy walnut bars had I named them but they indeed are walnut bars and they are good. I think that these would be equally good without the cream cheese frosting as a tasty snack cake. I used a 11x13 pan without any issues or changes and am confident that a 13x9 would be just fine as well with a bit of tweaking on cooking time. -- posted by invictus

These are an old childhood favorite of mine. I had these each holiday, I think my aunt made them. They look festive too. -- posted by mommyoffour

I got this recipe from my high school cooking class. They are a standard Christmas Cookie in my house. Just before Christmas Break 2009 I made these with the kids at the school I now work at. Each kid got to make 6 cookies each to take home. Each color weighed about 10 grams each. -- posted by tasb

This recipe is from the BHG website. I tried it for Christmas and it was a hit on my cookie tray. I also couldn't keep my hands off them. Great cookie for peanut butter and chocolate lovers. -- posted by Roxanne J.R.

One of mom's sure-fire, hand-me-down recipes. These don't get much easier. Yield is definitely going to vary depending on how thick/thin you roll your dough and size of your cuts. -- posted by Suzanna Marie

Recipe I want to try next fall. -- posted by *Kathy*

This tasted just like the cookies my Slovak Polish grandmother used to make.

My aunt used to make these cookies when I was younger, and I liked them enough to have my mother get the recipe for them. My aunt died not long after, and the recipe was misplaced. It recently resurfaced, so I'm submitting it to Zaar so it doesn't get lost again.

(Unfortunately the recipe doesn't say how large or thick the dough circles should be, so some experimentation might be necessary! I've also guessed at the cooking time - please watch your cookies!) -- posted by CassiaDawn
