Christmas Cookies Unique
Of course we all have our standard Christmas cookie recipes, but sometimes, I just want truly unique Christmas cookies. These Eastern European honey walnut cookies fall into that category.
Since we love Poland and have been there several times, we always seek out bakeries, cafes, and coffee shops where we can sit, order a luscious cups of coffee and have a pastry that just makes the entire day seem worthwhile! These Eastern European honey walnut cookies are inspired from these travels and adventures. Crumbly and crunchy, they offer just the right satisfaction for my taste buds whether it's morning or mid-afternoon or evening. Steeping with buttery goodness, they're kind of like a shortcake cookie, but even better!
Cookies from Around the World
The Eastern European countries, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and more, have a rich history and culture~one of the traditions that resonates in my mind when I've visited that area is that when you visit most anyone's home, you're immediately offered coffee and cake or cookies. There's always some kind of dessert in the pantry ready to be served.
I'm in love with my Persian walnut cookies!
Nut Cookies
You can't beat really good nut cookies. And, when the nut cookies have butter in them, lots of butter, and honey, well, you get the idea. These are cookies that are keepers.
Butter Cookies
Sometimes you might think that butter cookies and shortbread cookies are one and the same. I did for a while. But, really, butter cookies are so much better than shortbread cookies. Since butter cookies have more butter in them, the flour and sugar amounts are increased, this means that butter cookies hold their shape better than a shortbread cookie.
Butter cookies are perfect for rolling out and using cookie cutter shapes. They're much sturdier. Plus, if you want to send these cookies in a care package, well, they travel well, too. Just make sure they're secured and protected.
