“Tis the season for red, green and sugar. Baking Christmas cookies is always a fun holiday tradition. I will have to admit I have skipped a few years here and there but I was excited to bake this year. (And I am not a baker!) Stocksy definitely gave me some motivation to bake the cookies now instead of two days before Christmas day. They asked me to do another #FoodieFriday and we thought it would be fun to do a holiday theme. What’s more festive than red cookies? So I dug out a few recipes, turned on Hole Alone and preheated the oven to 350. I enjoyed baking… almost as much as I enjoyed photographing these little treats. But time with my camera usually trumps other activities. I hope you enjoy the photos and the recipes. And I wish you and yours a very merry Christmas! Check out the #FoodieFriday post on Stocksy’s blog this Friday.

You always make messiness look so good!I like the contrast between the “serious” darker shots and the ones with the playful feel later!
I am definitely feeling the Christmas spirit after seeing these cookies! Beautiful!
Gorgeous cookies that will get any grinch into the spirit. I bet they taste even better than they look. Perfection!
Your photos are tripping me out, they’re so gorgeous. What kind of background is that?! Jeez!
So pretty! My baking is messy like that but it doesn’t look so picturesque! 😉
not only do these cookies look divine, your photos are absolutely gorgeous!

This is so incredibly beautiful. I could just look at your pictures and (almost!) feel like I’m eating a cookie.
These photos are beautiful! And props for busting out some awesome cookies for being a non-baker. Happy holidays!
