My Moms Best Christmas Cookies and Bars

My Moms Best Christmas Cookies and Bars, she was one of the best bakers I have ever known and her Christmas cookies and bars were always the ones you waited for.  From shortbreads to creamy bar cookies, you will find the best here.

My Moms Best Christmas Cookies and Bars from shortbread, sugar cookies to jam bars and chocolate recipes, these are all our tried & true favorites.

These are the cookies and bars I make every year.  I introduced North American cookies and bars to my Italian family and friends and this is what they ask me for every Christmas, “Rosemary are you making cookies this year”?

I have to say their absolute favourite is the classic Hello Dolly or also known as the 7 Layer Bars, these are a delicious treat not only at Christmas but anytime of the year.

I hope you enjoy these yummy My Moms Best Christmas Cookies and Bars!  And Of course there will be more to come!
