New Tradition: Christmas Cookies

I think I started a new family / annual Christmas tradition. Martha Stewart thumbprint Christmas cookies (here’s a similar, but slightly different recipe). I started this for many reasons. One- a good excuse to visit/meet our new neighbors other than just being plain awkward and standing at their door trying to strike up a convo. Two- I want my neighbors and friends and coworkers to (hopefully) look forward to my annual homemade Christmas cookies. Three- I hope that some type of fellowship can come from these little cookies. Four- I hope to have this fun annual project to do with our future kids.

Okay, so maybe I’m looking way too much into these little cookies. So what.. it’s fun.  I documented the entire cooking process yesterday (was hoping to use natural light, but it ran out because of daylight savings time. Booo) Here’s a sneak peek… I’ll post them all soon.
