The Snappy Gourmet 2013 Best Christmas Cookie Recipes roundup is here! My 2012 Food Bloggers Favorite Holiday Cookie Roundup was a big hit, so I thought I’d do it again this year. Here are 70+ recipes from other food bloggers and myself that I think you’ll enjoy!
Before I get to to my fellow food bloggers’ favorite cookie recipes, I thought I’d take a quick trip down memory lane for some of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes and other cookies over the last few years.
