HOLIDAY FRUIT DROPS (COOKIES)

These cookies truly say 'Christmas' to me, and they are a family favorite at holiday time! The dried currants, cinnamon, lemon, walnuts, butter, and dusting of powdered sugar make an absolutely delicious tasting cookie. They freeze well too. Recipe is from my dear father, who was a spectacular baker. From my family to yours...I hope you enjoy!

  • Easy Sugar Cookies Recipe. A true classic, this sugar cookie recipe can be the foundation of making holiday cookies. This recipe is nice and easy, with just 7 ingredients.
  • Mostaccioli di Mamma. As much as I love a simple cookie, I do think that holiday cookies are great for experimenting. Spend a little extra time and try something new!
  • Lady’s Kisses – Baci di Dama. Straight out of Italy, these nutty cookie sandwiches are a must-try! Made with almond flour and crushed hazelnuts, they’re not overly sweet.
  • Gingerbread People. You really know it’s the holidays when gingerbread people come out! I always like to add a little extra ginger to mine, along with some orange zest for a little twist.
  • Chewy Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies. Can we just agree that mint and chocolate should be acceptable year-round? The rich and almost bitterness of the chocolate combined with fresh mint extract shouldn’t be saved for the holidays.
  • Pecan Pie Cookies. I have to admit that I actually prefer pecan pie over apple. There’s just something so satisfying about a slice of super sweet pie with crunchy toasted pecans.
  • Mincemeat Cookies. Don’t worry, I haven’t lost it just yet. If you’ve never had a mince pie before, now is the time to try it! The filling is an incredible combination of currents, brandy, candied peel, and spiced apple.
  • Cheese & Rosemary Biscuits. My love of shortbread extends beyond the sweet cookie you know and love. With no added sugar, this buttery biscuit has a pronounced cheese flavor, and the almost lemony rosemary will be such an unexpected treat.
  • Jammy Coconut Mallows. These cute little sandwich cookies are made with a subtle vanilla biscuit, sweet raspberry jam, and squishy marshmallows. Chilling the dough before rolling makes the process a lot easier and less messy.
  • Red Velvet Cookies. Though they don’t have those holiday flavors, you can’t deny their bright color will lift a plate or box of cookies. This recipe tops these super easy, cake-mix cookies with white chocolate chips for a red and white look.
