Yup, it is currently 89 degrees in San Diego (it was 93 degrees at the mall, where I was earlier). November 15th, and it's 90 degrees. This is hard for a New England girl to comprehend.
Sweat was pouring down my back as I marched through a tinsel tinged mall, listening to Christmas Carols. Weird.
So when I got home, I had to get things moving, and there is only way to do that: Let's start Eat Christmas Cookies, Season 2! You can check out last year's amazing round-up of cookies from around the world.
So start baking and send me any and all Christmas cookies; truffles and brownies count too. Just no pies or cakes, please. Santa really prefers cookies.Here's how you can participate:
Post about a Christmas cookie from today, November 15th through Sunday, December 21st at midnight PST. I will be posting your recipes as I receive them, so the earlier you send them in, the more likely someone else will see your recipe and try it for Christmas.Within the post:
- Please link to this page so others can participate.
- CHANGE as of Dec 19th. Please link to the new Round-Up, Part 2 page so people can see the cookies as they are posted here. Part 1 can be found here.
- If you really want to score some points with Santa this year, then you can also put the festive Christmas Cookie Logo below.
Email your entry to foodblogga [at] yahoo [dot] com, and put Christmas Cookies as the subject. In the e-mail please include:
- Your preferred name
- Where you live
- Your blog’s name and URL
- The URL of your entry
- The name of the cookie
- If you know how to re-size pictures, then please send along a 200 X 200 pixel pic of your cookies. If I don't see a re-sized pic attached, then I'll come get it at your blog.
- Multiple entries are allowed.
Questions? Leave them below or Email me.

I don't bake cookies, Susan, as you know, just cakes.
But I will watch closely!

I think I've already mentioned my family recipe for strufoli...this is just begging for a fresh batch!
Oh, this sounds like a great event. I think I'll participate this time.
Cheers,
Elra
And we leave on Tuesday starting our holiday travels. I would love to bake some cookies for this, have to see what I can work into the travels. If not I know you'll still come out with a tremendous showing and I be hanging on everyone.
YEAH!! I love this. Probably the only time of the year I bake cookies! :) Write ya soon Susan!
Its cookie time again. Lets see what I can do this year. :)
Yes! I sure want to take part in the event!
Cheers,
Rosa
Oh! It sounds like fun! I can't wait.
Thanks so much for doing this again Susan! I'm going to have to get baking!!
Very cool idea!
I'd love to participate...I love cookies...!!!
I would love to participate Susan. I have invited you to join an event over at my blog if you have the time as well:D
I'll take 89 degrees over 33 degrees (which is is now in Montana) any day!
Can't wait to get my cookie recipe in and read all the others... what a fun idea!
I'll be participating again Susan! But I can't really focus on Christmas until after Thanksgiving. After that, I'll start choosing my cookies.
Oh and the weather was even warm here back in New England. It was humid and in the high 60's yesterday.
I'm so not the cookie baker in my family, but your invitation is so, well, inviting that might just have to join in. As Anali said, I'll have to wait until Thanksgiving is over to focus on this. I'm looking forward to it!
Wonderful. I was intending on perfecting Finnish pippurikakku this year and now I have an extra reason to. :)
Oh fun!! And I'll trade my cold, damp weather for your heat anyday!! :)
Sounds like the most reasonable thing to do to me! :)
Send me some of that heat to RI, ok Susan?
I have the perfect cookie in mind. I'll be posting soon!
I've got the perfect cookie for you! I'll be sending to you after I post it. :)
Perfect! I'm so glad you're starting early - what a great way to get into the holiday spirit!
Sounds fun!!! Will try my best to whip something up! :)
I'll do my best, Susan!!
YAY! So glad you've decided to launch Christmas Cookies again, Susan.

I was wondering if you were going to host this again this year. I'm considering my contribution already.
Hmmm, What can I come up with? I'll be thinking!!

Your event was a huge success last year I remember it very well. I am sure this year you will have more entries.
Yaaaay! I have a cupboard full of baking things that need using - seeing as we are not going away this Christmas, maybe I can put my time to good use and participate :)
I'll have to see if I can find the time to make some cookies (I tend to just let my friends make them for me to eat :).
Like last yr. Susan..I'm in and I enjoyed this cookie Christmas do!
I'll try to participate!
Yes! Count me in !!
I am looking forward to it!
Cookies have definitely been on my list of things to do lately... Will submit a post soon :)
oh yay!! i am so happy that there is still some time until the deadline for this one!! will do my best to participate!!
Yay! Thanks for the happy words!
glad to see you are hosting this again this year :) will have to come up w/some more festive cookies....
First one on it's way Susan...YAY for Season 2!!
I just scored some points with Santa--I put your cookie logo on my sidebar. :)
I'll be sending in some "Snowball" cookies next week.
I know what you mean about the temps being in the 80s and 90s around the holidays. I live in San Antonio and it's so weird to see all the Christmas decorations next to the palm trees.
If i have the time, i will participate.
:)
This is as close as I think I'll get to a love fest... I can't wait to see this roundup.
