A Holiday Cookie for Everyone: 25 New Recipes to Try
The Washington Post

We have entered serious holiday baking mode, but we're still on the lookout for new recipes to add to our repertoire. The Washington Post's Holiday Guide has some intriguing options. Two-Bite Gingerbread Whoopie Pies? Yes and yes. There are also savory Blue Cheese Walnut Cookies and a vegan cookie made with tahini and coconut oil.

As the Post notes, its roundup includes "25 delicate, fruity, saucer-size, tart, savory, colorful, crisp, gingerrific, salty-sweet, dairy-free, vegan, melting, buttery, giftable and easy-to-freeze treats to brighten the holidays." We have to agree that it's a pretty impressive and diverse lineup.

The Chicago Tribune commissioned local architects to design their own gingerbread houses and brought in chef Kimberly Schwenke of 312 Chicago to bring them to love. We especially love "A Convenient Roof," a green house from Farr Associates.
The Seattle Times has another nice roundup that includes Pumpkin Bars with Hazelnut Streusel and Viennese Chocolate Snowflakes.
The Oregonian shares their favorite recipes for a cookie swap, such as Candied Ginger-Cardamom Bars and Ambrosia Macaroons.

Try this biscochito recipe. Biscochitos are traditional New Mexican a melt-in-your-mouth-can’t-have-just-one shortbread sort of cookie. They are flavored with cinnamon-sugar sweetness and aromatic anise seed. But vegetarians be warned (yes, I said vegetarians, not vegans) these cookies contain lard.

mmm whoopie pies & gingerbread!!!

I've always wanted to try a whoopie pie, I might have to make a gluten free variation.

Making cookies and taking an entire afternoon to decorate is one of my favorite holiday activities.

Kolaczki are probably my favorite cookie pleasure.

My mother-in-law's persimmon cookies are so good, we planted a tree just so we could bake them! Here is the recipe: http://bit.ly/67LWMV
