Red & Green Christmas

Red and Green Christmas Cookies

Red and Green Christmas

As everyone knows, red and green are the traditional colors for Christmas. Red Santa hats. Green Christmas trees. Red ribbons. Green garlands. Red and green icing on Christmas cutout cookies. Perfect.

“Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.” Hamilton Wright Mabie

Unfortunately, I lost all but one of my photos of these cutout cookies, which leaves this page a bit wanting. Instead of complaining, I’m going to consider it a challenge...a challenge to make traditional red and green Christmas cookies this year. Come back in December and see how they turned out.

Fun Fact
Christmas Colors

According to whychristmas.com, the colors of Christmas are green, red, gold, white, blue, and purple. This should make for an interesting batch of cookies this year!

 

Cookie specifics

What I’ve learned...

These cookies were made with the best ingredients I could find and baked in a small batch of two dozen. I’ve experimented with less expensive ingredients, but have come to the conclusion that flavor is best when I use the best. Why spend all this time baking and decorating if taste and texture are just so-so? Decorating the cookies takes time, but it’s an enjoyable process for me and I know that those who receive them appreciate that. Life is just better when you can share something you love with someone you love. Don’t you agree?
