Santa's belly is not the result of chance and as we know he likes to have a glass of milk and cookies, here are 10 ideas for welcome cookies…
Little gingerbread men
They can wear the same pajamas as your child, look like Santa Claus or look like… not much… but made with love and Santa will be very happy to see a smile coming down the chimney.
Here is the recipe for Recipes from Quebec
Jam Cookies
These cookies are so delicious that we will gladly taste them four or five times to be sure that Santa Claus will like them. You can put jam, marmalade or even a chocolate spread.
Here is the recipe for Ricardo.
Oatmeal Cookies
Oatmeal cookies are classics (and not just for Santa Claus). They've been with us since we were kids and are tasty, they just might become a holiday classic.
Here are two recipes well appreciated by Internet users on Recettes du Québec and Passeport Santé.
Dominos or Nanaimo bars
I know these aren't quite cookies, but with the coconut, vanilla cream, and chocolate, Santa certainly won't complain about those time-honored delicious bites (and neither are we!).
Here is a delicious recipe for dominoes on Allrecipes.qc.ca.
The Little Red-Nosed Reindeer
Any biscuit cut in a circle with two little ears can become a reindeer since the cherry red nose does all the work. You can add licorice for the woods or make them into cookie dough and add icing.
Long live the wind
Hoping for a white Christmas, here are pretty snowflake-shaped cookies that won't melt near the fire.
Checkerboard Cookies
These cookies are cute and tasty and can even be given as a gift in a cute little box. The recipe may not be as simple as oatmeal cookies, but the result is worth it. Feel free to get started.
Here is the recipe on Simone's Gourmet Notebook.
Double Chocolate
The Ricardo cookies with soft chocolate that crunch between pecans and white and semi-sweet chocolate chips… What more can I say?
Macarons
Obviously macarons are very difficult to make and you will have to follow the recipe to the letter, but when you have succeeded once, you will make Christmas reds and greens, Saint-Christmas pinks and reds. Valentine's Day and Easter purples and blues. In addition, we have time to practice on vacation during bad weather days.
Here are some recipes with chocolate, caramel and candy rose.
Fudge Cookies
I remember the first Christmases when I drank coffee and to accompany it, when I got up, I heated up a sugar cream pie. I don't think I'd be able to do it anymore, but fudge still has that holiday flavor to me. Here is a recipe for Fudge Cookies that will combine these two delicacies.
