12 Days of Cookies

Every December, I publish 12 cookie recipes in a row. Some are festive to the December holidays, and some are meant for year round enjoyment. You’ll find a lot of peppermint cookies, chocolate cookies, easy cookies, cut-out cookies, and non-cookie items that go great on Christmas cookie trays.

Honey Walnut Cookie Sticks (Sfratti): Traditional Italian cookies made from a spiced honey walnut filling and wrapped in homemade pie crust.
