Christmas cookies look festive, smell delicious, taste great, and keep little hands busy. Giving Christmas cookies is almost as much fun as making.or receiving.them. There are hundreds of different types, but some popular ones include German spice cookies, biscotti, gingerbread men, sugar cookies, stained-glass cookies, and Christmas wreath cookies. Layer cookies with sheets of waxed paper in holiday tins. If you are attending a cookie exchange party, be sure to bring copies of your recipe.
