I love a good Christmas sugar cookie, and these Christmas pinwheel cookies are both beautiful and delicious. I have to admit, rolling out dough is not one of my favorite things to do.

What is a cream cheese cookie? These are slightly cakey, soft sugar cookie with a slight creamy tang from the cream cheese.

Peanut butter and jelly has to be almost every child’s first sandwich. Probably most kids’ sandwich of choice through childhood. Not me, I was weird and only wanted peanut butter sandwiches and then had a weird phase of bologna?? I don’t know. But, I get the appeal! Peanut butter is salty and sweet, and paired…
I’d say oatmeal raisin or oatmeal chocolate chip are your standard oatmeal based cookies. I have made peanut butter oatmeal cookies and thought they were uber delicious as well.

Growing up I thought biscotti were some sort of fancy toast for drinking coffee.
