More than a collection of cookie recipies, CHRISTMAS COOKIES ARE FOR GIVING is a celebration of family, friends and the joy of giving. Stories, recipies, tips and more...

Smells of cinnamon…cookie cutters…rolling and baking…reading cookie recipies…warm times with friends and family…Christmas cookies are a universal symbol of sweetness and family tradition at Christmas. But the joy of Christmas cookies goes beyond eating. In CHRISTMAS COOKIES ARE FOR GIVING, Kristin Johnson and Mimi Cummins reawaken the fun of giving Christmas cookies, as they remember doing when they lived next door to each other when young children.

From the original short story “The Giving Christmas Cookie,” which shows a family brought together by a special cookie recipe in a nursing home at Christmas, to nearly 50 scrumptious cookie recipies with mouth watering photos, to the timely, easy directions for making homemade “Gifts in a Jar,” CHRISTMAS COOKIES ARE FOR GIVING is a cookie cookbook that shows that old-fashioned Christmas cookie recipies are the antidote to cynicism about Christmas gifts. The secret to celebrating your family and friends may not be in the department store, but in the grocery store where you’ll find the ingredients to make traditional cookies such as Sugar Cookies, Fattigmann, Springerle, Brownies, Vanillekipferl, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Spritz, Cathedral Windows, Pecan Balls, Biscotti, Shortbread, Peanut Blossoms, Divinity...and many more! Give this cookie cookbook as a present, and you may be rewarded when someone you love bakes the recipies in this book for you.
