Seven Layer Cookies!!

These are baked in one large pan and cut into squares but they are the very best holiday cookie you can make.
I make them every Christmas and always have to give out the recipe.

Spritz cookies or butter cookies - they can be made as drop (spooned) cookies or with a cookie press, which is more fun!!

I luv peanut butter cookies and macadamia nut.

shortbread. that's what my grandmother makes every year.

Snickerdoodles.

Scottish shortbread no additives whatsoever - only all purpose flour, sugar and butter. (I mean no rice flour, salt or anything else). There are a great many shortbreads but we prefer the Scottish one. Since you didn't request the recipe I haven't provided it but if you might like to have it : Try Better Homes & Gardens red & white cookbook the one I use is 50 years old and tattered but the recipe works for me every time.

I make 5 varieties of cookies for Christmas, Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter and Coconut macaroons. The favourite is the shortbread.

chocolate chip and white macadamia nut

Russian Tea Balls, aka Russian Tea Cakes

Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
