5 Best Cookies to Make for Christmas

Christmas time is just around the corner. There are people who are stressed about getting presents or others who are participating in the hectic party planning for Christmas Eve. But the days leading up to Christmas is the time that people seem to forget about because they were too stressed or too busy to really relish in the Christmas Spirit. I have compiled a list of 5 different Christmas cookie recipes to help you get in the spirit before Christmas Eve is upon us.

1. Russian Tea Cakes

Don't let the name fool you. These are cookies, not cakes. Despite their odd looking appearance, these bite size cookies are fun to make and the perfect treat.

2. Sugar Cookies

I know, I know. Sugar cookies are basically common knowledge. But with a group of people, making sugar cookies could really get you in the spirit. Use cookie cutters to get Christmas shapes like reindeer and gingerbread men. And then the best part? When the cookie are cooled enough, decorate them all crazy or have cookie decorating competitions.

4. Double Chocolate Chip Mint Cookies

You can't just settle for chocolate cookies. The peppermint is what brings in the Christmas. Might I make a suggestion? Spread vanilla frosting on these cookies and then sprinkle some crushed peppermint on top. It will add a festive look to them while tasting amazing!

5. Snickerdoodle Cookies

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
