These holiday cookies are a great treat to make with the kids and get you in the Christmas spirit. Many people do not realize that cookie dough can be colored to make a wide variety of colors for most any holiday season. Just a few drops of food coloring in your dough can make the color desired.

The traditional candy cane is red and white with plenty of holiday cheer added to the mix. Of all its uses, the candy cane is most popularly known as great tasting candy made in a variety of sizes.

Unique Christmas Pudding

The Christmas pudding can also trace its origins to a soupy gruel of the 14th century called 'frumenty'. This was usually made of beef and mutton with raisins, currants, prunes, wines and spices added as well. This was more of a meal consumed during the fasting in the run-up to the Christmas festivities.

Christmas pudding is also known as 'Plum Pudding' and is traditionally eaten in Britain and Ireland as a desert on Christmas day. Recipes vary from family to family and often are guarded as they handed down their prized recipes through the generations.

My family loves old-fashioned sugar cookies. Tint one batch with food coloring. Roll each into a rectangle and layer one atop the other. Roll, chill, cut, bake and serve. Be adventuresome. Spread some raspberry jam between layers of plain and green tinted dough for a festive cookie.
