12 Days Of Cookies

Who needs pipers piping and swans-a-swimming? When the holidays roll 'round, it's cookies that we're craving.

That's why we chose to celebrate the season with–drumroll, please–12 Days of Cookies. Throughout the month of December we'll share some of the coolest cookie recipes to have caught our eyes, from chocolate-peppermint sandwich cookies to the Swiss spice biscuits known as Leckerli, plus two special recipes developed in our own Test Kitchen.

While all of Tasting Table's editions will take part in the festivities, links to each of the 12 recipes will be posted here for easy reference. We invite you to check back over the course of the month for newly posted recipes and to view our growing slideshow.
