Christmas time is so much fun, not only because of the presents, but mostly because of the cookies! The ones you see here are my Dutch cookies called: "Jan Hagel" a crispy cookie with pearl sugar (very happy I found this type of sugar at IKEA!). Funny, we have a significant difference in cookie culture, When Dutch cookies are soft and chewy that means they are old...our cookies need to be crispy and crunchy! Here in the US a cookie needs to be chewy and soft. Since I need to please Santa, I make some soft cookies as well, this year the white chocolate chip and pumpkin cookies were deliscious!
My favorite is the Holiday Biscotti with cranberries and pistachios, and dipped in white chocolate. It is quite some work because they have to bake twice and the dipping is a tricky thing because the chocolate cools off fast. The compliments I received from teachers, bus drivers, and friends are worth it! Love to hear from you and your family's favorite Christmas cookies.
