Cookie Recipes
the basics plus some variations on a theme
One thing to remember about nearly all cut-out cookies recipes is that the dough tends to be higher in butter content and you'll want to chill the dough in between when you mix it up and rolling it out for cutting. Otherwise it's too soft and tends to stick to everything. Depending on the recipe, this might range from an hour or so to overnight.
pssst.... there's a "no chill" recipe listed here for those of us who don't remember to plan ahead.

Create Your Signature Cookie!
the add-ons, flourishes and sweet embellishments
- Coloring - cookie dough can be colored when it is made. Certain ingredients impart color but there's also food coloring for almost any color of the rainbow.
- Dusting - sprinkle the cookie with powdered sugar, cocoa or fancy sugars when they are still freshly warm. Let the cookies cool a bit before dusting or the sugars will melt. Using a tiny strainer (put the topping in and stir or tap with a spoon) can make for a very fine and uniform dust.
- Sprinkles - also known as nonpareils, jimmies, or hundreds and thousands. These are tiny shaped decorations of colored sugar. They can be chocolate, rainbow, or single colors. Traditionally, nonpareils are opaque white.
- Frosting - with this type of slim cookie, more often this really refers to a sugar glaze spread on the cookie. It can be left white (for "snow") or colored with food colors.
- Fancy combo cookies - any of the decorating methods above can also be mixed. Reindeer cookies can be made in chocolate and then have red frosting noses added and white snow drizzled on the antlers. Sprinkles added make great face details or other edible accents.
- Plain - of course, you can also leave cut-out cookies plain. Quite often, the fancy and specific shape makes them perfect just the way they are!

Gingerbread Cut-Out Cookies
a special holiday favorite!
- Gingerbread Cookies, Cookie Recipe, Christmas Cookies
- "I made the three cookie cutters for these little guys. They are about 5 1/2-inches tall. The gingerbread houses are about 4 x 4 inches. My husband says that these cookies are the modern version of the Gingerbread Man."
- Christmas Recipes Gingerbread Cookies Recipes For Kids
- Christmas Recipes Gingerbread Cookies Recipes, part of a collection of recipes for Kids.
- Simply Recipes: Gingerbread Man Cookies Recipe
- No cookie says Christmas more than a gingerbread man cookie. It's been thirty years since I last made gingerbread men, and it took all weekend to get this recipe right. After starting with a truly terrible recipe from an old edition of the Joy of Cooking (1/4 cup of butter for 3 1/2 cups of flour? - had to throw the whole batch out), I settled on this recipe, which makes some rather tasty cookies.

- Gingerbread boys and girls are fun to hang on the Christmas tree. But so are pigs, birds, horsies, bones, boats and any shape a cutter can make.
- Gingerbread Men Recipe - Joyofbaking.com
- Christmas baking wouldn't seem complete without a batch of gingerbread men. Fragrant with ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves the amount of which can be adjusted to suit your own individual taste.
