What are your favorite type of Christmas cookies?
Sugar cookies with frosting (this is the only time I'll ever eat frosting), almond cookies. We make various Indian sweets: mostly of the type called Ladoo. (Which are basically spheres of various sweet substances). There is one made out of wheat that my Grandpa used to make at Christmas, and now my mom makes. It's one of my favourites! There is also another sweet, which is essentially coconut-stuffed pastries that are either fried or baked. It's filled with raisins, cardamom, and other fillings.
What do you usually have for Christmas dinner?
I can't think of any specific thing we eat. I think some kind of meat (usually whatever's available) and other side dishes.
What do you bake at Christmas?
My mom makes Butter cookies with her fancy Wilton cookie maker. I bake macaroons if I get around to it. We might make more almond cookies... Gingerbread isn't big, but we like gingerbread houses okay enough. My mom is planning on baking fruitcake roll cookies, so we'll see how that goes!
What do you cook at Christmas?
We are planning on cooking dishes and things to prepare platters for those we know. We cook Indian sweets: along with the one mentioned above, there's another one called halva (halawa, halwa, chalwa... It kind of varies based on what country, but halva is pretty characteristic of and native to Indian, Eastern European, and Middle Eastern countries It's a lot like Turkish Delight.). We make one specialty called ice-halva, which is thin sheets of halva made out of various types of corn flour, cardamom, saffron (<3), and sprinkled with almonds, cashews, more cardamom, and pistachios. It's really delicious. We also make another one called Dudi halva, which is halva (cubed, though, not thin sheets) made out of Opo sqash, and Gajar halva, which is made out of carrots.
What is your favorite Christmas treat? Pretty much all the ones I listed above.

What foods help make Christmas special for you?

Several years ago, my parents gave my sisters and I a Wilton Cookie Pro Ultra, I love it and every December since receiving it I have made Spritz cookies at least once. I have a chocolate spritz cookie recipe too, but I think the vanilla/almond is my favorite kind. Although I hoping to make them again soon and favor them with peppermint. So Christmasy.

Christmas Spritz Cookies
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Food coloring, optional
Sprinkles

Preheat oven to 375F. Thoroughly cream butter and sugar. Add egg, milk, vanilla, almond; beat well. Stir together flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture, mixing to make a smooth dough. Do not chill.

Place dough into cookie press and press cookies on to ungreased cookie sheet. Top with sprinkles or sugar. Bake 9-10 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Remove cookies from cookie sheet; cool on rack.

Can be made without cookie press, just shape and bake.

Makes 7-8 dozen cookies.

If using liquid food coloring, I recommend increasing the amounts of vanilla and almond.

Merry Christmas!!!

What are your favourite type of Christmas cookies? Soft frosted sugar cookies or little chocolate sandwich cookies.

What do you usually have for Christmas dinner? Usually turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, peas/carrots, rolls, and dessert. We STILL have yet to find a turkey this year at my local Whole Foods though, so worst case senario, if they never restock.. we'll be having a roast beef, which I also like, but it'd be off tradition a bit.

What do you bake at Christmas? Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast, bread for the stuffing, rolls for dinner and then dessert, whatever that may be depending on the year and everyone's mood.

What do you cook at Christmas? It's a joint effort between my mom and I! We both work on the turkey, stuffing, and potatoes for dinner.

What is your favourite Christmas treat? Well, my mom got some truffles this year...

Share some of your Christmas recipes. Sure thing, but I'm telling you all now, they aren't mine! Since I'm now grain free and can't buy whatever I want whenever, I have to make a lot of stuff now. I'm by no means smart enough to whip up something of my own creation, so I let the professionals do it, and then I gratefully use it myself.

Cinnamon Rolls, which are amazing btw.

I will be trying this sugar cookie recipe for the first time ever this year. Wish me luck!

Rolls.

What foods help make Christmas special for you? Sugar cookies, truffles, turkey, and hot chocolate.

I have to say though, the best part of all the food about Christmas is the fact that my family has sucessfully switched all of the food over to grain free and dairy free. I still got my stuffing, rolls, and cookies! Thank you almond/coconut/tapioca flour!
