About


Note: this recipe was submitted by Lindsay Willcocks as part of the Ultimate Holiday Cookie Contest at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seattle, WA.
A holiday cookie is what we call in England a biscuit.  But a cookie by any other name will still taste good if it is made with nothing but the best ingredients and that includes a whole lot of love.  When I bake my recipe at holiday time is produces a warm smell that fills the house, so that when family, neighbors and friends come through the door on Christmas eve, the first thing they say is.... "smells good."  Good food does taste good, and that is why I use only butter in my cookies, no substitute will do.  It is the butter that gives the cookie that festive richness and that unmistakable crispness combined with a softness inside, it is the butter that melts into all the other tastes and makes this very special time of year etched into everyone's memories with the giving and receiving of holiday cookies that are made with pure love.
