I can’t believe that the Holidays are upon us already and that means that it is time to start thinking about Holiday cookie baking! You can never have too many cookies over the holidays whether for entertaining, giving them away as gifts or even just to snack on yourself. It’s always nice to have a variety of cookies on your platter so that everyone can find something they like and perhaps even try some new ones! I have gathered a few of my favourite holiday cookies here to share with you and I will also be trying a some new ones over the coming days!

My grandmother was born in Canada, and though she wasn't an especially dedicated or talented cook, she made Nanaimo Bars. When I was a kid we simply never saw them in the US. They're still fairly unusual, but they're just about the most delicious thing ever invented. Why they've never caught on in the US is a real mystery to me.

This is a fantastic list and I have bookmarked a few. But, those bacon chocolate chip cookies! Those will be first in the oven.
