It comes as no surprise that there are a wide variety of Christmas and holiday cookies in the world, but it would be amazing to see all the varieties right in front of you! Many different shapes, sizes, colors, textures, and tastes abound with holiday cookies - there may easily be hundreds of varieties. Most cookies tend to originate from European countries; of course, America loves to make and bake a variety of cookies as well. There is a famous cookie/dessert that transcends national borders and has multiple names; it can be called a Russian or Swedish tea cake, butterball in the UNITED STATES, Melting Moment in AUSTRALIA, and Mexican wedding cake in, of course, MEXICO. While it can be made for Mexican weddings or tea time, the aforementioned cookie is a favorite at Christmastime. Most cookie aficionados would agree that this cookie actually originated from Arabia (the general Middle East region) during the Medieval times! A page on Christmas-cookies.com provides recipes for some around-the-world treats. In addition to the website's offerings, GERMANY makes Candy Crisps, Star Anise cookies, and others. If you have any awesome 'cookie traditions' that you want to brag about, feel free to post a comment!
