The 50 Best Cookie Recipes on the Internet

Raspberry, Olive Oil, and Thyme Shortbread from The British Larder

Hey Blisstree reader and baker! Have you seen our new 50 Best Summer Cake Recipes and  25 Healthy Cookie Recipes from Blisstree’s resident Baker Chick? And, if you think gluten-free can’t taste good, our Baker Chick just tested out vegan, gluten-free brownie bites from the BabyCakes bakery recipe. One word: Delish.

It’s 17 weeks until Christmas. This is actually when I start my Christmas baking and freezing so that I have a more relaxed holiday with all the bells and whistles that I love. Every week for the next 17 weeks I will post a make-ahead recipe for Christmas. Yes, I am weird. Today we start out with an explosion of ideas – to go along with the rest of the home and dining channel 50 list. Any of these would be great in the Christmas Cookie exchange, in fact, all of them would be. (And you have time to get to all of them if you start now.)

Note: I spoke to the geniuses who figure out web pages and asked about printer-friendly pages. They assure me they’re working on it. In the meantime, you can copy and paste in an email to yourself.
