Shhh...this year's Xmas gift will be...

...Kourabiethes :)  I have always always, wanted to spend a cozy, chilly December weekend day at home making Christmas cookies for friends and colleagues. Well, this year I am going to do it! The toughest part...I thought...would be picking the cookie. Turns out that was the easiest part because ...duh...of course I should make the official Greek Christmas cookies...kourabiethes! I was super inspired by this great post in Saveur and just loved how they were described on the blog Whipped...'piled up high' and looking like a 'mound of snowballs'. Could this be more perfect! I usually make mine in star shapes...but some of the snowball shaped variety will be fun too. Now I just have to decide on the packaging...so excited!
