"To my way of thinking, most folks love cookies. In the case of holiday cookies, for many it's not just for their splendid taste and texture. Fondness is often linked to memories of warm kitchens and pleasant family times. Baking cookies is old-fashioned holiday fun. Of course, those cookie treasures can be sealed up in zipper-style plastic bags for enjoying at home or given as gifts (I like to keep one or two bags in the freezer for emergency cookie raids)."
"There are a wide variety of cookie tins available in marketplace that are welcome containers for gift packaging. Cookies come in all shapes, sizes and flavors. Some are crisp, while others are chewy. I've chosen recipes for three crisp beauties that I love to bake and share. Tillie's Brown Sugar Shortbread Buttons My old friend Tillie loved to prepare these easy-to-make cookies. They look like buttons and are loosely bound together with a holiday ribbon."
"1. Adjust oven rack to middle position. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick spray. 2. Place butter pieces and brown sugar in food processor fitted with metal blade. Pulse until creamy. Add 1 cup flour to processor; pulse to combine. Add remaining flour and pulse to combine and form ball. Stop the processor just as soon as it forms the ball."
Holiday cookies combine splendid taste and texture with memories of warm kitchens and family gatherings.

A wide variety of cookie tins provide attractive gift containers. Cookies vary by shape, size, flavor, and texture; some are crisp while others are chewy. One featured crisp recipe, Tillie's Brown Sugar Shortbread Buttons, yields about two dozen and uses butter, light brown sugar, and all-purpose flour; the dough is processed, shaped, and indented with a chopstick before baking.
