MY REVIEW: There
is something delightfully personal and delicious about receiving a tin
of holiday cookies--something that says "these were made just for you".
Cookies and Christmas are inseparable--after all, it's a much-loved
tradition to leave a plate of cookies and a glass of milk out on
Christmas Eve for that revered world traveler, Santa Claus. With
"Holiday Cookies: Showstopping Recipes to Sweeten the Season", author
Elisabet Der Nederlanden offers a treat-filled treasury of 50 recipes,
plus more ideas for taste-filled ways to celebrate the holiday season.
Beginning with her introduction recalling her childhood in Sweden, and
through her early training as a baker, as well as present day, the
author expresses her love of the holidays and how baking always puts her
"in the spirit of the season". This beautifully-realized collection of
cookies and creative ideas like gingerbread houses, cookie place cards,
and edible ornaments will easily become a favorite addition to your
