Cookies? Cakes? What’s on your Holiday Plate?

With the Holidays just around the corner, the grocery baking isles are popular. Are you one of the many who plan on baking some holiday treats this year? Recipes remain one of the timeless traditions that we pass down to each other, received from both friends and family alike, even through multiple generations. From our kitchens to yours, here are a few Himmelfarb favorites that we would love to share with you!

Andy, our Interlibrary Loan specialist, highly recommends Pillsbury Peanut butter blossom cookies! If you have a problem with peanuts, you can always substitute the peanut butter for sunflower, or cashew butter! One tip: Bake for 7 or 8 minutes at the recommended temperature for soft, not crunchy cookies. 

Laura Abate's daughter discovered this gem of a recipe which was a hit at a neighborhood cookie exchange! Why don’t you try these alluring Chai Sugar cookies for yourself? 

Ruth Bueter, our Serials librarian, has said that Betty Crocker’s Sugar cookies are a Holiday classic!

Have you ever tried a Spritz cookie? Their color & vanilla almond flavor set them apart from the rest. Vegan? These Gingerbread cookies come with their own vegan icing recipe for decorating. For those who need to keep their diet free of gluten, these Snowball cookies are truly in the spirit of the season, and also include a dairy free option. 

From the Himmelfarb library, we wish you a safe & warm Holiday season this year and the happiest of New Years!
