Variety of Christmas Cookies!

[Anonymous]

I need to prep 4-6 different types of Christmas cookies for an event I’m helping with and could use some input and ideas on which cookies to make. The plan is to bake x100 of each type in advance and freeze a few weeks before the event. I’m looking for a good mix of flavors, recipes that are not too arduous to make, and cookies that will freeze well. I also want to be sure to have a GF option. There are other people who will be preparing cookies and other desserts as well so my contribution does not have to be the end all be all Here’s what I’m thinking about:

* gingerbread men with white icing accents
* sugar cookie stars with royal icing and colored sanding sugar
* cranberry white chocolate chip cookies
* some type of chocolate cookie with crushed candy cane? Maybe GF?
* peanut butter blossoms with the Hershey kiss plopped inside
* ????

These are very similar to my Italian grandmother’s cookies we still make. We don’t use anise, but anyone who likes it is certainly welcome to.

Pp here. It is funny you say that because I lived in Northern Italy for years and never ate a cookie like this. But I got it from a friend here in the states and fell in love with them. I guessed they were Italian American.

Most Italian American food is southern Italian (Napoli) or Sicilian because that’s where all the poor laborers immigrated from.
