Let the Adventures Begin!

We strive to bring you all-new, instant classic cookie recipes that will make you the hit of every potluck and holiday gathering.

We had fun revealing unique recipes each week during the 12 weeks leading up to Christmas — like an advent calendar.  Get it?  We called it “ADVENTures in Christmas Cookies“.

But even in the new year the ideas keep flowing… so the baking will keep going!  New recipes will keep rolling.

Exploring New Baking Territory

Welcome to our little adventure! Thank you for taking this journey with us as we discover the best Christmas cookie recipes. We are just getting started! As your guides, let us first explain where we aim to take you, and then tell you a little bit about our recipe philosophy.

Over time, we’ll explore more and more baking territory together, but we started off in the sweet spot where we feel most comfortable… CHRISTMAS COOKIES. We’ll let you in on a little secret, too — you can also eat these when it’s not Christmas. <gasp> Shocking! As old man Scrooge himself even once vowed, we should “honour Christmas in our hearts, and try to eat cookies all the year”… or something like that.

Crossing our T’s

When we judge our creations on their potential worthiness of getting posted here, we Cross Our T’s and examine the following factors:

1. We believe TASTE is most important

  • Will the first bite make you say “WOAH!”?
  • Do the flavors work well together?
  • Are the flavors bold enough?

2. Then there is TEXTURE

  • Some may say this is a subset of TASTE, but we judge it separately. Is the cookie appropriately crunchy, chewy, crispy, or soft?

3. It must also be a TRAILBLAZER

  • We are “Adventure Bakers”, after all! Is the cookie something unique? We want to offer you new classics. 
  • Please do continue to bake traditional peanut butter blossom cookies (yum!), but don’t be afraid to try our original Snickernog and Krampus cookies, as well, for example. We think you’ll discover new Christmas favorites that you’ll want to bake year after year.

4. Finally, there’s TEMPTATION

  • Is the appearance inviting? We want our cookies to be eye-catching when seen on a dessert tray from across the room.  However, we promise you won’t need to be Michelangelo with a piping bag to be able to make our cookies!

5. And… oh, wait!… It needs to be TRANSPORTABLE

  • Whew! We almost forgot that! We want to be able to ship these cookies to friends and family around the globe.

Snickernog, Krampus, Dirty Snowball, Mountain Top, Sleigh Ride, Figgy Bars, Spumoni, Mahalo, Fruit Basket, Pink Nightmare, Christmas Thai’m, Cuppa, Stellar, Nutter Honey… what will be next?
