Holiday Cookies

Don't skimp on the butter when making this holiday treat. Buy the best unsalted butter you can find, and you'll be rewarded with the ultimate melt-in-your-mouth shortbread in varieties like eggnog, lemon-epresso, curry-coconut and cranberry-orange.

These popular two-bite treats are made from a soft shortbread-like dough. Bake them whenever it's convenient, then fill with jam, marmalade or lemon curd just before serving.

Instructions

This recipe captures all the layered tastes of a classic fruitcake - in a fraction of the time.

Holiday baking wouldn't be complete without a batch of gingerbread men. Unadorned or intricately decorated, they just shout Christmas.
