Christmas cookies/3 recipes

My mother and I made these cookies when I was little, many years ago, using the box of dry mincemeat. I have looked for years for the recipe, they are the best cookies ever!!!

A very simple and healthy way to prepare the prized Dover sole that highlights its mild, buttery sweet flavor.

Indulge in the delightful warmth of Irish Ginger snap cookies, with a rich history and a perfect blend of spicy ginger and sweet flavors.

Chocolate shouldn't go together with "low-fat" but this decadent recipe will change this fact!

An Eastern European pastry with a rich history and cultural significance. They are traditionally made from a simple dough consisting of cream cheese, butter, and flour, and filled with sweet fillings like jam, nuts, or cheese.

These cookies are buttery and flakey, love the walnut filling that gives the cookies just enough nuttiness and sweetness. Well balanced flavor, and cute little pockets, just can not have enough of them.

These turned out perfect—crushed candy canes make them nice and crispy on the outside, with a soft melt-in-the-mouth explosion on the inside. I was really impressed a bit like shortbread with a minty twist.

Gluten-free cookies made with peanut butter, chocolate chips and chickpeas (garbanzo beans). Give it a go, and you will be surprised by how delicious these sweets are.

These apple and oat muffins are so moist, and they are delicious too, good for breakfast or a tasty snack.

These are so easy to make and are delicious!

Quick and easy, it is a great breakfast, you can bake these lovely quiche in the earlier morning, you can also make them in advance and freeze them.

This Jamaican Sweet Potato Pudding cake is smooth and creamy, the coconut milk, raisins and rum add huge flavor to this dessert.

Traditionally baked during 'Sinterklaas', a feast on 5 December (6 December in Belgium and Germany) on which little children receive gifts from the holy St. Nicholas, the partial inspiration for Santa Claus. In Germany, Pfeffernüsse are traditionally made during the Christmas season.

Absolutely delicious in every way. The lime and garlic marinade works it's wonders and permeated the loin wonderfully. (We marinaded for two days :) The onion marmelade paired perfectly, it actually tasted like apples and everything was easy to prepare.

Jam filled cookies, traditionally from Eastern Canada but popular around the world. Some know this as a Christmas cookie but it's good any time of year.

I have made a Thanksgiving goose every year for at least 15 years. I have steadily gained on making the perfect bird but I finally found the greatest recipe ever in Cook's Magazine. The divine part of this approach to cooking the goose is that it employs some of the eastern method of drying the skin which is used in Peking Duck. The skin simply drops all its fat and leaves a crispy, dry, delectable skin that folks fight over! No more rubbery, yucky goose skin full of fat!
