Christmas time is cookie time, and these are my favorites. Take out a couple of sticks of butter, bake you some cookies, eat a few while they're in their most perfect state (hot out of the oven), and share with special people in your life.

I made some holiday cookies myself this weekend! I was reading one of my favorite food blogs (other than yours of course) and came across a recipe for Persimmon Spice cookies. I was very intrigued and decided to try them. I was nervous since I was using an ingredient I had NEVER used before, but my coworkers assured me they are "soooo yummy" :)
