Simple to make yet elegant, these chocolate Valentine cookies sport a fashionable combo of pink and brown.
Holiday cookies
Scottish Shortbread
Traditional Scottish shortbread is plain and simple, but utterly delicious. Make it in a shortbread pan (mold) for a decorative cookie.
Greek Honey Cakes (Melomakarona)
These cakelike Greek cookies, moistened with syrup, are a Christmas favorite.
Great Pumpkin Cookies
These cute pumpkin cookies are fun to make and decorate with kids for Halloween. There’s no need to make them fancy. They’re large enough that even toddlers can help decorate them. Just tint vanilla icing (store-bought or ready-made) orange and green, and spread over the cookie to make the pumpkin and stem. Black decorator icing, accented with candy corns, works great for the eyes and mouth.
Shining Star Cookies
The trick to making star cookies really shine is to use edible glitter rather than ordinary decorating sugar and to roll it into the surface of the dough.
