In between visits with Santa,

and chats with the cows next door,

my assistant and I also managed to bake a couple more batches of Christmas cookies.

Gibbs and Mommy Baking

While Casey slept, Gibbs and I prepared two of my favorite cookie recipes of all time: White Chocolate Chip Cranberry Cookies and The Ultimate Ginger Cookies.

Cookies with Elf

The white chocolate chip cookies have been on my holiday baking list for a few years now, and they always seem to be a hit. Even my milk-chocoholic husband loves these. In fact, I have to hide them from him immediately after they come out of the oven – otherwise they will disappear long before they make it into their tins.

White Choc Cran Cookies

And the ginger cookies were actually inspired by the molasses cookies that I buy all summer and fall from Mary Ruth Kipps at the local farmers’ market. They’re sweet, slightly salty, chewy, and spicy. In my mind, the perfect cookie!
