"To my way of thinking, most folks love cookies. In the case of holiday cookies, for many it's not just for their splendid taste and texture. Fondness is often linked to memories of warm kitchens and pleasant family times. Baking cookies is old-fashioned holiday fun. Of course, those cookie treasures can be sealed up in zipper-style plastic bags for enjoying at home or given as gifts (I like to keep one or two bags in the freezer for emergency cookie raids)."
"Tillie's Brown Sugar Shortbread Buttons My old friend Tillie loved to prepare these easy-to-make cookies. They look like buttons and are loosely bound together with a holiday ribbon. If making these with children, they may opt to top the cookies with a judicious amount of sprinkles, avoiding the holes that are created with a chopstick. Yield: About 2 dozen INGREDIENTS Nonstick spray 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted cold butter, cut into about 16 pieces 2/3 cup light brown sugar (packed)"
Most people love cookies, and holiday cookies often evoke memories of warm kitchens and family gatherings. Baking cookies provides old-fashioned holiday fun and results can be stored in zipper plastic bags or cookie tins for gifts. Cookies vary in shape, texture, and flavor; some are crisp, others chewy. Three crisp cookie recipes are included, one being Tillie's Brown Sugar Shortbread Buttons. Tillie's recipe yields about two dozen and uses cold unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and two cups of flour, with dough formed in a food processor, shaped into walnut-sized balls, and pressed before baking.
