20 Amazing Must Try Christmas Cookie Recipes
It’s the holiday season and I’ve been thinking a lot about our neighbors. With two adorable kiddos in the house, it’s easy to think about the fun, cheerful parts of Christmas, but sometimes the holiday season can be harder on others. Our next door neighbors lost their nephew this year and he was a young dad with young kids. Another family has a parent who is struggling with depression, and another neighbor is a widow who celebrates all her holidays alone.
We CAN make a difference. So, this year, we’re going to whip up some Christmas cookies for our neighbors and hand deliver them! Our neighbors are some of the kindest, sweetest people, and I can’t think of anything more spirt-filled for the holidays than to gift them with Christmas Cookies inspired by all my blogging friends! Hence, this list of 20 Amazing Must Try Christmas Cookie Recipes.
Who could you deliver some cookies to? Will this list inspire you to bake for a friend? A co-worker? A neighbor? If so, I’d love to hear from in the comments below. THANK YOU to all the bloggers who shared their amazing cooking talents here – this list will serve as the core list for our Christmas cookie giving activities this year. Merry Christmas everyone!
This PARTY will run for TWO WEEKS in celebration of the busy holiday season. So I’ll see you back here again next week if you are linking up over the holiday and once every two weeks I’ll round up the best posts. The next post will feature New Year’s activities.
Happy Holidays, and enjoy this season while making these delicious recipes created by the bloggers who share their recipes at Family Fun Friday.
