Compromise Cookies for Christmas
Some remember Christmas as a time of pure joy, classic movies, and cosy evenings spent decorating the house with loved ones. For anybody lucky enough to love a fussy eater – of which my family has several – dinner table arguments and abandoned plates will stir up the same nostalgia.

A Simple and Versatile Cookie for a Stressful and Complex Year
Russian Teacakes are amazing cookies in the best of times, but also in the worst of times. In any given year, I'm a lazy yet discerning baker. I want easy, fast, but also delicious. This means if I need more than two bowls, or if there are 17 complicated steps, I'm out. On a year like the one we've just had, that's even more true.

Simple Peanut Butter Cookies
I can remember when my children were small how much they enjoyed it when I would get out the mixing bowls and wooden spoons. Oh, how their little faces would light right up, knowing that their mommy was getting ready to bake something tasty. I recall those days as some of my fondest kitchen memories. Little ones were tugging on my shirt, asking when the treats will be ready or one of the girls dragging a chair over to the counter and climbing up for an eye level view.

The Best Little Cookies in the 4 Corner States
Biscochitos (sometimes written Bizcochitos): flaky, buttery, dusted with cinnamon sugar goodness and just the right amount of spice! If you've never tried these golden treasures...you're not alone, but you're missing out. These shortbread-like cookies are a well-kept, secret New Mexican staple. They are so delicious in fact, that they were named the official state cookie! If you live outside of the US four-corner states, it's likely you've never even heard the name biscochito, so I'll tell you in advance: you're welcome! Easy to make, and sure to please! Once you make these beauties for your friends and family, they'll be asking for them every holiday. Just be careful, or your family may dub you the official holiday baker.
