Christmas cookies for Santa

We made cookies for Santa over the weekend. Here’s the recipe for Chocolate Nutella Orange Pinwheels that Santa will be munching on tonight.

As far as the mix for the “raindeer” I have no idea what my youngest tucked in the bag of “healthy treats” for Rudolph and company.

"Dear Santa, Please bring this to the raindeer it is healthy for them too."

You'll notice a strongman, Perry the Platypus, a volcano, and a squid among our Santa cookies

Santa is going to love these cookies!

Sure gingerbread cookies are tasty, but why not add chocolate chips? Oh yeah. Digging around online, I found a recipe on Rachael Ray that tweaked a Joy the Baker recipe to do just that–marry chocolate and chewy gingerbread cookies.

There’s nothing more heart-warming then joining my kids around the kitchen to make a holiday dessert.

After posting about kumquats last week I just wanted to pass along a cookie recipe that was a big hit with my kids. You use the kumquat puree to give the cookies a boost of citrusy sourness.
