{December 18th} Happy National Bake Cookies Day with More Cookie Recipes

Do you need an excuse to bake this time of the year? If so today is the day to bake. Many of us are joining together to celebrate National Bake Cookies Day! I am baking 3 types of cookie recipes today as well as some non bake Christmas goodies for my open house this weekend. What are some of your favorite cookie recipes? Share them with me. If you have been following my blog the past month then you have caught some of my 30 Days of Christmas Goodies which has included some tasty cookie recipes. 

If you are looking for some new ideas to bake today then try the below cookies from guest chef Maria Zoitas’ who is the creator of “Maria’s Homemade” line of prepared food sold exclusively at Westside Market NYC. Each batch makes 24 cookies! They are all easy to make and would make great gifts for Christmas.
