4. Spiral Christmas Cookies
Christmas cookies are amazing. They come in all sorts of varieties. I love sugar cookies the best because they are versatile. They taste great plain and they taste great frosted. You can add all sorts of flavors to your sugar cookies such as hints of orange, anise, eggnog, and the list goes on and on. These sugar cookies are pretty dang awesome because you actually make them into a roll before baking. Slicing the cookies of the roll of dough is what gives them their pinwheel appearance. I think it is super clever and very cute. You can’t buy this goodness at the store, folks.
One year, my sister and I made up a ton of these spiral Christmas cookies and took them caroling with us. Our church goes caroling to needy families in the community and we always leave them with a goody box. The look of happiness on each family’s face is amazing. I like to include some of my most special holiday treats in the boxes because these are very special people 🙂 If you like to bake holiday desserts and gift people with yummy treats then I suggest giving these spiral Christmas cookies a shot. Happy Holidays!
