announcing: the 2016 holiday cookie platter!
each year, i prepare a number of cookie platters to give as gifts to friends, family and those who have gone the extra mile for us each year. i am currently baking the cookies to grace this year’s platter, and i thought i’d share it with you, cookieblogger readers, so you can get an idea of what types of cookies should ‘make the cut’ for your holiday cookie platters.
since there’s a lot of stacking on the platter, i find it best to include cookies that can stand up to the pressure of being surrounded by other cookies. i also try not to add cookies that have a strong scent, since i don’t want all the other cookies on the platter to be infused with that scent. in all honesty, however, i do have a number of anise-flavored cookies this year – but they are lightly scented and should do no harm to the rest of the platter!
lastly, i’m still working on getting recipes up here on the blog for a few of this year’s cookies… so stay tuned!
and it goes without saying, it would be delightful if you added a comment or suggestion to any recipe page where you either liked that specific cookie or thought something could make it even better! i’m all about the feedback, you know…
thanks for visiting! happy cookie munching and happy holidays!
