Holiday Cookies & Squares

Whether you like them super-sweet or semi-sweet, there's a cookie recipe here for every buffet table, Christmas dinner or cookie exchange. Gingerbread, shortbread, sugar cookies and truffles are great for bundling into pretty boxes and tins to offer as holiday gifts for teachers, colleagues, neighbours and friends. These gourmet treats are packed with nuts, chocolate, dried fruit, coconut and ginger, so be sure to keep a few dozen for yourself!
