Twelve Cookies of Christmas

It's the most wonderful time of the year...when I go super holiday-baking-mode crazy. Like last year, I decided on an ambitious list of twelve varieties of cookies and treats for the holiday season—which would give me a chance to make some old favourites, and test out some new recipes as well.

It's quite the mix of things I made this year, from bar cookies, to biscotti, to hand-shaped cookies, to confections, and more. So I hope you follow along in these next twelve days to get your fill of holiday cookies and treats. And hopefully you'll try your hand at making a few of these cookies to share with your family and friends (or you know...keep them to yourself).
