In The Christmas Cookie Book you'll find traditional American favorites as well as sophisticated international classics: Mother Gilbert's Chocolate Cookies, Renata's Vanilla Crescents, and Blue Ribbon Pecan Fudgies make the most of down-home ingredients, while Lebkuchen, Linzer Wreaths, and Swedish Butter Cookies will delight you with their marvelous Old World flavor. There are recipes for fancy cookies, such as Almond Spritz, and for treats like Apricot-Coconut Confections, that are so simple even the kids can help. 

The Christmas Cookie Book is more than a collection of wonderful recipes; it's also a practical guide to the basics of cookie baking that makes failure virtually impossible. From presses to colored sugar crystals, you'll find everything you need to know about equipment, ingredients, and techniques. Each recipe contains tips on methods, special tools, and storage instructions. A special section called "Cookies to Go" is devoted to gift-giving, with charming ideas for packing and wrapping your cookies. A veritable feast of terrific recipes, gift ideas, and cookie-lore, The Christmas Cookie Book is sure to please cookie lovers of all ages.
