Every year I make a batch of these almond cookies to celebrate the arrival of the Chinese/Vietnamese new year, and every year they disappear in record time. I keep making bigger batches, hoping I’ll have some left over, but that hasn’t worked yet.
Holiday cookies
Double Gingersnaps
These are gingery and crunchy—just like good gingersnaps should be. They keep well, too, making them great for baking in advance and freezing or for mailing.
Apricot Bars
These apricot-filled bars are rich and sweet, so you can cut them smaller than many other bar cookies.
Eggnog Snickerdoodles
Adding a bit of rum flavoring and replacing most of the cinnamon with nutmeg gives these popular crackled cookies a flavor reminiscent of eggnog.
Linzer Bars
Both gooey and elegant, with their jewel-like filling, Linzer Bars make an ideal cookie for the holidays—or any time of year.
