Gingerbread Simple Syrup is perfect for adding a festive touch to your favorite beverages or as a topping for pancakes or waffles. 

These cookies are soft, buttery, and have a lovely lemon flavor. You can decorate them with colorful sprinkles or icing to make them look even more festive!

When I was a kid, Christmas afternoon was spent with my dad's side of the family, and I remember a house bursting at the seams with people and tables full of goodies that my grandmother and aunts put together. Pizzelles, rosettes, bowties, totos, little tarts filled with lemon or chocolate.  

These bite-sized cups are made by pressing gingerbread cookie dough into a mini muffin tin and baking until they're crisp and golden brown. 

Eggnog biscotti are a delicious holiday twist on the classic Italian cookie, filled with the flavors of vanilla, nutmeg and rum!

I'm so excited to be hosting this year's Christmas Cookies Week! It's one of my favorite events to participate in and we've got a fantastic line up of foodie friends sharing their recipes.
