Synopsis

Pass the cookie platter, please! Frosted sugar cookies, twisty pinwheels, soft gingerbread...all the classics (and some new favorites!) are inside. Combining the timeless appeal of our hardcover cookbooks with the visual inspiration of our 101 Photo series, this reissue is a fresh take on one of our bestselling Christmas titles.

Christmas Cookie Jar is chock-full of scrumptious recipes with all the flavors of the season...Chocolate Mint Stars, Raspberry Shortbread Thumbprints, Frosted Ginger Creams and Cranberry Crumb Bars. You'll find old-fashioned favorites like Pecan Icebox Cookies, Grandma's Butter Fingers and Pastel Cream Wafers...even Oh-So-Easy Cut-Outs and 1-2-3 Cookies that bake up in a jiffy.

Of course we've included candies for gift-giving like Grandpa's Famous Caramels and Sparkling Sugarplums, along with lots of clever ideas for sharing cookies. There's even an all-chocolate chapter packed with goodies like Double Fudgy Cookie Bars and Buckeye Brownies.

When Christmas Eve arrives, we'll be setting out a plate of Rudolph's Carrot Cookies for Santa…how about you?

I ran across your website not long ago, and I enjoy it so much. Every recipe I have tried has been so easy and turns out perfect. You guys are the best! Your website is more personal than other recipe websites I find when I search for new recipes. Thanks for the work you do to keep your website informative.

I have to let you know that my culinary teacher gave everyone in our class two of your cookbooks as Christmas gifts: 101 Homestyle Favorites and Sunday Dinner at Grandma's. I just love these books. I had them at work, and I really had to guard them, not only from my co-workers but from customers. Your books are easy to follow and have lots of recipes that I will actually make.
Thank you!

What a warm and pleasant surprise it was to receive my own copy of Rush-Hour Recipes. It arrived on a cold, snowy January day that turned into a happy, delightful one when I saw the bright, beautiful and homey cover! I so look forward to making many of the grand recipes.
