With holiday orders done, it was time to take a little time to get in the holiday spirit with some baking. I love to cook and experiment in the kitchen so I thought that I would share the recipes that I found for some yummy holiday treats. Keep in mind that I never follow the recipe exactly ... I always have to add my own little touch ... so have fun and be creative in the kitchen.

+ Ribbon Cookies (A family favorite)
+ Shortbread (I added the chocolate kisses because I had some leftover from another recipe.)
+ Lemon Cookies
+ Gingerbread (I cheated and used the Pillsbury Refrigerated Cookie Dough)
+ Platinum Blondies
+ Chocolate Thumbprints
+ Magic Cookie Bars (Go for it with these. You can really experiment and throw in all of your favorite goodies.)
+ Chocolate-Peanut Butter Balls (Matt's favorite this year.)

Enjoy the cookies and happy holidays.
