Honey, I'm a Snicker Doodle

My Christmas cookie baking series continues as I finish up my second-to-last grad quarter, study for a certification exam, and attempt to carry on my mother's tradition of cookie platters. 

Today's baking escapade is one of my personal favorites and is making its first debut on a Christmas cookie platter: the honey snicker doodle. They are truly one of the most perfect, chewy cookies ever.

These things contain that Christmastime magic that can be enjoyed all year-round. The Fiancé and I brought them once to a picnic where we left early....and I tried to take the leftovers home with me....apparently that's a faux-pas. Whatever.

The love affair continues

Christmas Cookie Edition Part 1: Almond Your Heart with These Cookies

So I have a confession..... I'm actually a bit of a grinch when it comes to Christmas. I loathe Christmas music and I don't particularly like decorating because it gets taken down after three weeks- which I find depressing.

But I do like Christmas cookies. In fact, I believe in Christmas cookies.

When I was little, my mom used to bake DOZENS of Christmas cookies. I decided to carry on the tradition, so I bring you the series: Christmas Cookies with Kristen ;) And no...no Crock Pot needed. You can expect in the next three weeks: oatmeal raisin, sugar, honey snicker doodles, and tri-color cookies.
