Christmas cookie recipes are supposed to be rich, melty, and eat in five seconds tasty. You’re not supposed to count the calories for these, you’re supposed to grab a cozy mug of hot chocolate, put six of these on your plate, and go watch Home Alone.
At least that’s what I think about when I make cookies for the holidays. I don’t wanna think about how these aren’t very healthy, they’re not supposed to be. They’re just supposed to be eaten. And these nineteen Christmas cookies are perfect for eating.
