Cookies are my favorite holiday treat

Guest post written by Celia Smith

I guess that most people think of a dish or a casserole when they're asked what kind of food is their favorite kind of holiday food. But for me, my favorite kind of holiday food is definitely holiday cookies! I've always had a thing for Christmas cookies anyway, so I'm glad that as an adult I can control how many get baked in my household. I remember as a kid I would sneak a whole bunch of them and always be asking my mom to fix even more fo them.

I make it a point to actually start baking Christmas cookies the day after Thanksgiving while other people are out shopping the crazy sales. I like to look for new cookie recipes online and while I was doing that one day a few weeks ago, I ran across the website http://hearingaids.miracle-ear.com. Once I looked through it a little bit, I decided to go and get fitted with some of those hearing aids because I suspected that I've needed some of them for a while now anyway.

You really can't beat some classic cookies decorated in colorful icing. You can take the most basic cookies and make them that much better by drawing a holiday design on them.
