I Made My Favorite 6-Flavor Cookie Box From Scratch

72 hours in my small kitchen, 6 different cookie flavors, and 300+ cookies later, I have my very first holiday cookie gift box! Now I can finally check being a cookie elf of my bucket list... or make it into a new tradition.
I don't have specific recipes yet on how to make the cookies at this time, since I did a lot of experimenting, but I drew reference from a bunch of amazing cookie recipes out there! And then I had a little too much fun naming the new creations.
Here are the featured cookies!
- Salted Chocolate Chunk Shortbread (NYT recipe)
- Peppermint Mocha Rye Sables
- Matcha Shortbread with Caramelized White Chocolate
- Candy Candy Meringue Cookies
- Stamped & Spiced Miso Brown Butter Snaps
- Zesty, Poppy, Nutty Linzer Minis
Merry Christmas, and happy holidays, everyone! ❤️

I think I've gotten so familiar with lemon zest in recipes that I started to panic when the lemon cookie hadn't popped up lol

[@IngaLam]

i am in love with this comment

[@nevergiveupdearfriend7289]

As someone who uses lemon flavor a lot. İ recommend you to freeze the skin of the lemon . For example when you will use a lemon grade its skin and freeze them. We really don't realize how much aroma we throw away.

[@angeliki5135]

I'd love to exchange cookies with Igna one day! I have a really nice idea for a twist on a Greek classic cookie but its known as Italian wedding cookies, my idea is to alter the flavor to add lemon and change the thickness to be more of a soft smaller cookie then the traditional. And I would include the best Greek cookie of all time, Melomakarona! It is *the Greek Christmas cookie* and you'll love them if you love honey! 😊🥰

U too!

[@cannibalisticrequiem]

@Caleb Lee Nah. Happy Holidays because Christmas isn't the only one that exists in December. There's Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, Natale and Befana (along with other Italian winter holidays), Santa Lucia Day, Las Posadas in Mexico, and many others. I know this is hard for you Christians to believe, but you don't own December. It doesn't belong solely to you. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@lavendermiist]

Happy Holidays!

[@user-tj2kh1nh4p]

@Caleb Lee yes because you are being ignorant. Hanukkah is going on rn as well. Christmas isn't the only holiday of dec 25

[@raina2319]

I am astounded by the amount of effort you put into everything

[@keinavecilla1949]

To think of how much effort you always put in everything you cook/bake. The way you make and bake the cookies, how you prepared it on a fancy box and being considerate? Is that what you call? for drawing and writing the names of the cookies at the back of the cards❤

[@oliviawu7212]

Just trying to imagine how many bowls you had to wash... I can't.

[@IngaLam]

i've wiped that part from my memory

[@cannibalisticrequiem]

That's why my mom taught me to "clean as you go". Don't wait until everything is piled up at the end, just wash the dishes while things bake or set up.

[@horrificreader4084]

@@cannibalisticrequiem my mom says that but I don’t do it and I just shove everything in the dish washer
