Jolene's Recipe Journal

  I knew that I wanted to include gingerbread cookies during the 12 Days of Cookies, to me, it's a flavor that means Christmas.   I searched through tons of recipes for cut out cookies, gingersnaps, but nothing really grabbed me.   

Cannoli purists, look away.  Today's recipe is Easy Cannoli Cookies from Crazy for Crust.  These cookies give you the taste of a cannoli while using simple ingredients.   I used a cookie cutter to make mine a bit more festive.  I also added a bit of green food coloring to the beaten egg. 

If you loved Jingles Cookies as a kid, these homemade copycat Jingles Cookies are your chance to bring that holiday nostalgia back. Tender, buttery cookies flavored with a hint of anise and topped with festive red and green sugar crystals, they recreate the classic treat that’s no longer available in stores.
