Weekend Cooking; 10 Christmas Cookies To Try This Season

For me, one of the most fun things to do during Christmas is to bake cookies. I can't deny that I'm an avid baker, so Christmas is a nice excuse to have a bit of fun in the kitchen. One of my go-to cookies every year is a Norwegian cookie called Kakemenn (literally translated as cake-men, but can be made in a variety of recognizable shapes). Just as a random trivia, in the county where I live in (Rogaland), you can actually purchase kakemenn the entire year. Yes, I know it can sound weird for some, just as we have a cookie with the so-not-politically-correct name Jew Cakes (recipe found here, but don't worry, the cakes are yummy).

I would guess I'm not the only one who is going to bake this season and because of that, I wanted to share with you a round-up of 10 Christmas cookies, so feel free to pick-and-choose if you want to make any of them, even the non-PC named Jew Cakes I mentioned earlier, so technically it's 11 cookies to consider. If you're hosting a Christmas cookie exchange, you could check out these free printables as well.
