These Christmas Spice Cookies were a delicious addition to the holiday baking season. Dorie’s flavors are always on point and this recipe was no exception. Everyone enjoyed them.
I had a lot of trouble with the dough. I chilled for 3 plus hours, the dough was firm when I took it out but while I was cutting out my cookies the dough got soft fast. After 3 cookies, I could no longer get the cookies off without squishing the dough. I ended up going back and forth with chilling to get my cookies made. It was a really long process and one in which I do not want to repeat. This dough was too fussy for me but they tasted good and that is all that matters.
Tuesdays with Dorie is an international baking group working our way through Dorie’s cookbooks. To see what others made this week head over to Tuesdays with Dorie.

Yours are shaped like mine! Cute! I had to keep dusting a little flour on my dough.

Those look cute on the snowman plate! I also found the dough very difficult to work with- super sticky. We use it at least 2 more times throughout the book!

So cute! Interesting to read about your troubles with the dough – I found it really easy to work with but I guess I got lucky? Happy Holidays!

I hear you loud and clear on the whole dough management deal. I am not sure I want to tackle it again but we loved the flavor so much that I probably will. Your cookies look so cute and delicious…I notice they are slightly darker on the edges as were mine and I have to say that was so good, it was like browned butter flavor and absolutely lovely. I just want to have one of yours right now. 🙂

These did taste good, didn't they, but I hear ya on the dough. I cut one tray and trashed the rest of the dough because I could not stand going back and forth.

I don't know why I didn't crack this book open when I was making my Christmas cookies this year. These sound yummy, but sorry about the sticky dough. Hope you had a terrific Christmas!!! Xo
