Christmas Cookie Recipes Continue American Tradition Across the country, and around the world, every family that celebrates Christmas keeps its own special tradi tions. A tradition that seems a part of every Christmas celebration is a Christ mas cookie exchange. The baking and giving of Christmas cookies is a custom popular in many countries. In fact, the American tradition of baking cookies for friends and family (and Santa) is based on those traditions brought over by our ancestors...espe cially those from the Scandinavian coun tries and Germany. But. the addition of candies and nut breads to those holiday baking traditions is distinctly American. It is the custom in most countries to create the prettiest cookies and treats of the year at Christmastime. Taking the time to decorate a cookie, make a special candy or create a tasty nut bread for dear friends, is a traditional way of telling them that they are treasured. The home economists at Oster recom mend that busy cooks make their special ties ahead of time and freeze them. Another time saving tip for this busy sea son: Combine old traditions with new... give a pretty cookie tin that contains homemade treats and purchased bakery delights. Then, even busy cooks can con tinue this cherished Christmas tradition.
