Persimmon orange cookies made with persimmon pulp, orange juice, orange zest, warm spices, nuts, and raisins. Bake as drop cookies or cut into brownie-style bar squares.

Pfeffernüsse-style German spice cookies with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, mace, and allspice, finished with a drop of brandy before baking. A traditional holiday cookie that keeps for weeks in a tin.

Pistachio chip cookies with white vanilla milk chips, brown sugar, and a touch of oats for chew. Buttery, salty-sweet drop cookies studded with crunchy green pistachios in every bite.

Pistachio sugar cookies: buttery rolled sugar cookies topped with chopped pistachios pressed into the surface before baking. Crisp, delicate, and elegant with a nutty crunch on every cookie.

I liked these a lot. The poppyseed taste is subtle yet makes them a little different and more "elegant" than ordinary butter cookies.

A rich, sour-cream dough is laden with poppyseeds and braided into 5-inch sticks.

Paintbrush cookies are honey-sweetened sugar cookies decorated with edible egg yolk paint before baking. A fun kids' baking project where the painting is half the joy and the colors bake on vibrant.

Soft pumpkin cake cookies with cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. Pillowy fall cookies with cake-like texture and warm spice in every bite, ready in 35 minutes.

Raspberry pecan thumbprint cookies spiced with cinnamon and allspice, filled with seedless raspberry jam and topped with chopped pecans. Better the next day.

Raspberry poppy seed cookies are tender butter thumbprints studded with crunchy poppy seeds and filled with jewel-bright raspberry preserves. A bakery-style classic with two textures in every bite.
