It’s that time of the year again! All the seasonal bakers are coming out of the woodwork, and I, for one, am happy about it. I’m not a snob when it comes to my baked goods. Whether it be a loaf of bread crafted by God himself or some gingerbread cookies hastily thrown together by my 12-year-old cousin, I will basically eat anything baked in an oven. Christmas is the perfect time of the year for amateurs like myself to try our hands dirty making some delicious Christmas cookies. Whether they end up delicious or not is yet to be seen. 

The worst part about Christmas cookies is that you feel an obligation to consume them very quickly, and usually, there are way too many for one family to devour entirely. Eventually, you do eat them all and feel just guilty enough to launch into some classic New Years’ resolutions. If you’re a baker, a baker’s wife, or a pastry eater, these baking memes will warm up your heart.
