Cookies for the Holidays

Home-baked cookies are sure to please everyone on your list. Packaged in decorative boxes or tins, they make a thoughtful hostess gift and are a wonderful treat to send to faraway friends. And cookies are great to have on hand when guests stop by.
For your holiday baking this season, we offer recipes for some old-fashioned favorites, including Mexican wedding cookies and ginger snaps (ours boast a double dose of ginger). These recipes and many more are featured in Cookies, one of the newest additions to our Williams-Sonoma Collection series. This book also includes a chapter on decorating to help you transform your cookies into delectable works of art.
