One of the greatest activities surrounding Christmas is baking Christmas cookies! December is basically international cookie month. In fact, because Christmas cookies are so popular, people have created a specific event for Christmas cookies called a cookie swap. In this list, you will find my top 10 recipes for the best Christmas cookies!

1. Spritz Cookies

These delicious butter cookies are best made with a cookie press where you can create very intricate designs. For this cookie, I would give you all my great aunt Mimi's recipe, but then I'd have to kill you. Instead, click here for this good recipe too!

2. Pfeffernusse Cookies

These are traditional German spice cakes that are most often served during the holidays. These intriguing little cookies are great while cuddled up with a piping hot mug of hot chocolate. Click here for this recipe.

The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
