How to store

 You can make or prepare all of these Christmas cookies ahead of time, and most keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for at least 3 days, up to one week.

How to freeze

 Store these cookies in an airtight container in layers divided by parchment paper, or in a freezer bag (depending on the cookies), and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Making a batch of cookies at a time and storing in the freezer is the best way to make a holiday cookie box with a variety of cookies.

Loving the flavors in these cookies! So delicious!

These look so good. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.

Great recipe!  I just made them! Yummy!!! Although, I didn't have pistachio or cranberries - yes, unacceptable! I know, I know! Guilty! :) So, I used raisins and walnuts instead. They still came out great! This recipe is the keeper for sure! Thank you!

Actually had all ingredients already on hand and I'm so glad because these are DELICIOUS!! Thank you for this easy and delicious recipe! I will be making these again for sure.

Outstanding results, fabulous cookie.  I added 1/2 cup of white chocolate chunks to the final mix and the results were fantastic. With or without the added white chocolate, this recipe is a winner, made me look like I know what I'm doing. Thanks!
