Old Time Christmas Cookie Recipes ~ Passed Down From Our Home to Yours

It seems as though once the holidays approach we all have a tendency to fire up our ovens and start baking. These Christmas cookie recipes have been handed down from grandparents, aunts, uncles and so forth. For each bridal shower given we traditionally ask all invited to share their favorite recipes of all types therefore; as our families continue to grow, so do our cookie recipes boxes! Many of these recipes for cookies are over 80 years old and come from many different countries. We hope you enjoy these time tested and mouth tested cookie recipes and that your families will enjoy baking and eating these Christmas cookies from scratch as much as we do! These Christmas cookie recipes are so good you will want to make them all year long. Oh! We've also included a cake recipe for a Double Rum Cake; it is just too good not to include.
