I love an old fashioned looking cookie. We made these using my basic (but most delicious) sugar cookie dough (recipe here) by tinting half of the dough red. Emma and I made “snakes” out of dough, then twisted them up. The beauty of these is that there is no decorating – once they are baked, they are finished. It was a great hands-on activity while we watched a Christmas movie. I especially love how they look mixed with a batch of gingerbread cookies on a platter… next on the list : )
As always, I baked them on a Large Baking Sheet with Natural Parchment Paper, available here.
This season, we’re including a Holiday Baking Booklet in each of our orders. The booklet contains all of my staple recipes that we turn to each year – Sugar Cookies, Ginger Spice Cookies, Christmas Star Bread and and “Homemade” (from frozen dough!) Cinnamon Rolls. This is our little holiday gift to you, our customers. Happy Holiday Baking!
