Eric's Honey from Salttraders.com

Eric's Honey Ipswich, MA honey master Eric's  wildflower honey is a deep, rich color, like a fine caramel. Its flavor is rich and warm with broad floral hints; a bit of orange, a wisp of vanilla, and a touch of caramel, too. This is a perfect garnish for cheeses of all types, drizzled on fish, or used as a sweetener for fruit sauces. But for me, I'm off to make biscuits!

The month of December is VERY busy for most of us.  With the end of the year holidays including Chanukah, Christmas, Kawanzaa and New Year's Eve,  comes the need to bake, cook, shop for gifts, entertain family and friends, and accomplish the things you've put off the rest of the year.  We are here to help you with cookie recipes and shopping.  I've chosen these 15 cookie recipes for their flavor, variety and ease.  Some are traditional and have been in my family for years (lebkuchen and individual fruit strudel) and some are innovative (orange oatmeal chocolate chip cookies).  I'm sure you will find some favorites here. I've also included some holiday gift ideas so that you can find that perfect gift for that perfect person on your list. Just click on the photos below or to your left to go to the online websites.
