Dairy Freed

Cranberry Pistachio Bars

For years my dad has said we should only make two kinds of cookies for Christmas; Chocolate Pinwheels and his favorite, Chocolate Chip. For some reason I just can't wrap my head around chocolate chip cookies for Christmas. I know many will argue with me and say you can use red and green chips (which, in my humble opinion, are AWFUL) or use something like red and green M&Ms.  I could possibly go with the M&Ms if they were dairy-free but I'm still not sold.  

Sesame Seed Cookies

In the baking world, Christmas cookies tend to have Type A personalities; pushy, demanding attention, rigidly organized and highly status conscious. So every once in a while it’s nice to see a cookie with a Type B personality. These Sesame Seed Cookies are very tender with a cake-like texture that's subtle and simply flavored.
