25 Days of Christmas Cookies: Day 5 – Chocolate Dipped Pistachio Crescents

December 4, 2013 by Shari Eckstrom 1 Comment

One of my favorite moments on Christmas morning as a child was to sneak out of bed early in the wee hours while everyone else was still sleeping to see what Santa had left in my stocking. My mom and dad decided early on that stockings were fair game. I realize now as an adult, this allowed them a few extra hours of precious sleep on Christmas morning, but at the time it was pure heaven for me to explore all the bounty stuffed within my sock so carefully hung by the chimney. 25 Days of Christmas Cookies: Day 5 - Chocolate Dipped Pistachio Crescents are a small nod to a simpler time. Buttery crescents that melt in your mouth, dipped in rich chocolate and covered in nuts. It doesn't get much better than that. Our family didn’t have the special stockings one finds today, with names embroidered on them and  intricate embellishments. No, each year I and my siblings went to our sock drawers and looked for the longest, sturdiest, socks we could find and tacked them on the chimney ledge hoping that we would find them filled to the brim with candy and trinkets come Christmas morning. Inevitably I would find the required apple, orange, and various nuts still in their shells, hard penny candy and maybe a chocolate or two. It was enough, and I was grateful.

Day 4 – Lemon Cardamom Wreaths

25 Days of Christmas Cookies: Day 4 - Lemon Cardamom Wreaths. I love the simplicity of flavors in this cookie. The cardamom and lemon play well together, giving a wonderful citrus flavor in every bite, and every time I open the container of cookies, the spicy fragrant aroma greets me with the certainty of Christmas.

 Iced Ginger Stars are crisp and gingery, with just a touch of sweetness. They make the perfect dunking cookie and can be used for edible Christmas ornaments.  Day 1 –Russian Rocks
