Christmas cookies

This year I am going to bake some cookies for Christmas. I love baking, but couldn't believe I didn't bake any cookies last Christmas! Could be because I was busy at work and had no energy left for baking. I am not that good in baking, but I start with a simple recipe where I don't have to worry much about the measurement or ingredients just to get the feel of baking. Once I have seen how they turned out, I tried with another rounds on other days and they got better, and then it always becomes quite interesting to try out other recipes. There are countless of them in the internet! Try a simple one first or your favorite cookies, you'll be fine.

Tina in a heartbeat if we lived near each other I would bake with you. I know we would have a grand old time too. Baking cookes takes patience and you can not leave them alone at all. I know because if I go away and leave Dennise who bakes and cooks well she always forgets she has to take the cookies out at the exact moment they are done.

Oh those men and their mommies! Seems like there is always one dish that men claim no one can make as good as their mother can.

Why not invite a couple of friends over for a baking party? The people you invite over don't have to be your besties; in fact, this could be a fun way to get to know some of your acquaintances better. Or, you could organize a cookie swap. Each person bakes a large batch of one or two of their best cookies and brings those to the swap. This allows each participant to enjoy a wider variety of cookies than they otherwise would be able to. Again, the people involved don't have to be really close friends. You could invite people from your church, work or whatever else you're involved in. Also, remember that the only way to get good at things is to keep practicing them. That is definitely true when it comes to baking. Don't give up on it. You may never master complex recipes (then again, you may), but you should be able to at least perfect a few of the simpler classics. Remember, one of the keys is to use good ingredients; for instance, use butter not margarine--it really does make a difference.

I really like the tradition of making cookies for Christmas and it is something that I've always had a good time doing. However, I do have to admit that I'm not the one in my family that does Christmas baking. My mother has always been the baker in our family and we will usually take a day out coming toward Christmas so that we can take the children to her house and we will all help to decorate the cookies. I'd love to do it myself, but I'm afraid that I wouldn't have any kind of luck with baking on my own.

I am not very good in baking cookies though i love to make them for my family and friends. Last year i made chocolate chip cookies and it came out good. This year I have lot of plans. Planning to try some new recipes. I even downloaded two books on baking cookies and cakes. It has lot of easy recipes which i will try to make. Yes i love to eat cookies though I really feel guilty because they are loaded with so much sugar, butter and calories. But Christmas comes once a year after all.

I love to bake cookies. This time of year I go on a little baking streak since I don't like to heat up the house with the oven any other time of the year. I am not going to have a lot of money for gifts this year, so I might end up baking gifts for people this year.

Hey Tina, that makes the two of us when it comes to cookies and baking. I know that my husband and siblings would love to have some homemade cookies this Christmas, but I am by no means that good in baking. I had a couple of hits and misses, mostly misses, whenever I try to bake a batch. Of course back then it is okay, but this is for Christmas and I want to make it special. Who knows if I have to share some of it to others and goodness knows how they will react to a sad looking cookie that I baked, lol!

December is the busy season for some people, preparing for parties, giving gifts, sending greetings cards through post mail or email, and volunteering work in the charity facilities. The moment of knowing the value of real Christmas eve.

I will start baking xmas cookies this week to sell her ein my cafe. I learned from my mom. Im going to make xmas tree sugar cookies on monday here.

I love Christmas baking but I don't want to eat them all and gain weight!! There are a lot of really easy recipes out there you could try if you are having trouble with the ones you have tried.

I like to give cake to my friends too. Especially to my boyfriend. I am very happy to see some body eat cake from me. Some time in special day in my country, I always give a cake to all my family in my town. I have busy day in that time. All my friend and my family will eat my cake and that special day every year

Hi! I have not yet tried baking Christmas cookies, I would like to try it. However, I bake fruit cakes for Christmas. Thanks for giving me idea for Christmas. Have a nice day!
