Baking Christmas cookies is a popular ritual we observe every year.

It’s important to follow all the essential procedures to ensure the cookies are perfect. This includes using the right ingredients for the dough, processing and baking it well, choosing the ideal filling or decoration, and preparing the best frosting for Christmas cookies.

For example, Linzer cookies can be eaten as usual and spread with marmalade, but they taste even better when they are sugared.

However, the very best ones are coated with a chocolate topping. The same applies to other types of cookies and frosting, whether it’s lemon, egg yolk, or something else.
