Catch the Spoon

I’m finally over the flu, and I’ll be baking Christmas cookies this weekend. Yep, Christmas cookies. The holidays are too darn crazy, so my mom and I make time in late winter/early spring to enjoy a day in the kitchen baking cookies. This year, our plans may be foiled by the new arrival in our house (a Wii), but I’m hoping to get a few batches in between rounds of boxing.

I have a few new recipes lined up to try, but in case you are in the mood for a sugar-riffic weekend, here are some old standbys and new favorites from the Catch the Spoon archives to get you started:

• Magical Mint Cookies
• Nutmeg Sugar Cookies
• Date Squares
• Bacon Cookies
