I have felt totally overwhelmed by the amount of holiday goodies floating around this apartment in recent weeks. My sweet mother bakes like a fiend this time of year, and always sends us a huge care package (or 2) so that we get to sample everything before we arrive down south. This is one of her classic Christmas cookie recipes (although she tends to make them whenever the urge strikes, not just at Christmas). The cookie is moist and lightly spiced, with a delicious and pretty icing glaze on top. And they are super easy – no rolling or cutting required. Perfect to give away to your friends and spread some holiday cheer!
