This last weekend I put together 24 activities to stick into our advent calendar. 24 little pieces of paper that say things like “Make Christmas Crafts Today”, “Decorate a Gingerbread House Today” and even “Eat Christmas Cookies for Breakfast Today!” Making Christmas cookies is on the 20th, and I can guarantee you we will be making at least one batch of sugar cookies – they are one of our favorites!

Be sure to check out this incredible collection of anise cookie recipes, too!

The best part about sugar cookie recipes is that they are so versatile. Most of these recipes are quite similar, it’s just the decoration and cutting that sets them apart. Here’s some great examples from Country Living, which gives 2 different slide shows of Christmas cookies all based on one sugar cookie recipe:

Anise Cookie Recipes

I am the designated Christmas cookie maker every year. And my mom slyly depends on me to make her (and my!!!) favorite cookies – anise cookies. It doesn’t matter which recipe I use, as long as I show up at her house with anise cookies. This year I’ll definitely be breaking out my springerle molds, but I have my own anise spritz cookie recipe that is really both the easiest and my absolute favorite. I’ll get that up on the site soon!
