Christmas cookies are one of my absolute favorite things about the holiday season. Not only do I love to bake, but I love to eat the cookies too! I mean who doesn’t?! However, this holiday season is a bit different for me when it comes to the food, as this is my first Christmas where I am completely gluten free. Sometimes it proves itself to be challenging, but after doing some research and baking tests, we’ve learned that there are certain gluten free flours that should be used for certain baked goods. Bob’s Red Mill is a wonderful brand full of a variety of different options to choose from and my favorite brand. And a little tip, their website has printable retail coupons!

Below is a list of some Christmas cookies that are relatively easy to make and will get your mouth watering for sure! And for most of these recipes you can substitute all-purpose flour for any gluten free flour too!

1. Peanut Butter Hershey Kiss Cookies

One of my favorites, peanut butter and chocolate together all in one bite, yum!

2. Sugar Cookies

Make them into cut-outs by using your favorite holiday cookie cutters! And maybe you even want to decorate them with your friends and family, make a small party out of it, drink some hot cocoa, play some Christmas music and just have fun!

3. White Macadamia Nut Cookies

So, I have never made these particular cookies homemade, but they have always been a favorite of mine! This recipe is easy to follow and definitely one recipe I’ll be trying this year.

4. Gingerbread Cookies

Decorate them to share with your friends or preserve them to use as Christmas tree ornaments!

5. Snickerdoodles

You can't go wrong with a Christmas classic, the snickerdoodle! Yum!

6. Chocolate Chip Nutella Cookies

Drooling just looking at these. I'll probably eat the whole plate.

7. Nut Tassies

While they aren't actually cookies, they are similar to mini pecan pies, bite-sized and delicious!

8. Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies

A mixture of red velvet cake and chocolate chip cookies, yes please!

9. Chocolate Peppermint Sandwich Cookies

I've never made a sandwich cookie before, but they look yummy and like a lot of fun to make!

10. Chocolate Chip Cookies

The ultimate classic everyone needs on their Christmas cookie platter!

11. Hot Chocolate Cookie Cups

Cookie + hot chocolate, can you think of anything better?! Yum!

12. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

This is my dad's favorite cookie, so it is always made in our house each year for the holidays. If you aren't a fan of the traditional oatmeal raisin cookie, try and spice it up a bit by adding a can of pumpkin! They're fantastic and give the whole cookie a new and exciting flavor!

13. Russian Teacakes

Double rolled in powdered sugar, these buttery cookies melt in your mouth and were made by my grandmother almost each year for Christmas.

14. Peppermint Swirl Cookies

What better way to spread Christmas cheer than with peppermint? And cookies, of course! Give these a try, you won't be disappointed!

15. Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Soft and chewy chocolate cookies sprinkled with powdered sugar. As a lover of chocolate, this cookie is definitely calling my name!

16. Christmas Tree Cookies

Show off your creative side by decorating your own edible Christmas trees!

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

Rutgers University

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

No, I can't help you.

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

4. Having the same conversations over and over again! To be honest I really don't even want to talk to you right now, or have this fake ass smile on my face!

5. Always having to have a smile on your face. I promise I'm not as happy as I may look!

6. Customers not understanding that sometimes, mistakes happen. I am a human being, we all mess up sometimes!

7. Having the boss from hell, it's their way or the highway! Even though I did my job correctly and efficiently, if I don't do it the exact way you do, I'm a piece of shit.

8. Having coworker who don't help out, who bend the rules just enough to screw you over.

9. Having to be at work after closing because a customer is taking forever and half! Not like I'd like to go home or anything!

10. Having shitty hours and more shifts than you asked for. Just because we don't have enough workers, doesn't mean I want to pick up every shift that you cant cover, oh great boss of mine!

11. Not having time for a social life. It gets old saying, "I can't I have work..." Every day of the week!

12. Having that lazy costumer who can't do anything for themselves... no please I'll get that, it's no problem at all!

It's just my face, I swear.

1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.

2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.

3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."

4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.

5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."

6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.

7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.

8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.

9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.

10. Your "mad face" scares you.

11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.

Please hold your blonde joke.
