I stumbled across an interesting article today from the Chicago Tribune that outlined the top ten holiday cookies. While looking over the list I could not help but disagree with the order. Here is their list, in rank order:
- Spritz
- Cucidati
- Bonbons
- Le Petit Ecolier
- White chocolate chunk hazelnut
- Milano
- Ring Around
- White chocolate-cranberry-oatmeal
- Almond Crescents
- Sugar Cookies
Now don't get me wrong I love all cookies, I just think this list needs to a bit of editing. Also, there are a few favorites that were forgotten. See my list below:
- Sugar Cookies- who can argue that this staple doesn't deserve to top the list?
- Sugar Cookies with Hershey Kisses in the middle- more like 1A and 1B with Sugar Cookies.
- Ginger Bread Cookies- how can you leave ginger bread out of a cookie list for the holidays?!
- Cannoli- if their list can include Bonbons, I'm going to include cannolis. I may be biased due to my Italian heritage, but who doesn't love a good cannoli?
- Milano- call me lowbrow, but this minty treat is impossible to stop eating. Seriously, I've started eating a bag, looked at the TV, and then noticed the bag was empty.
- Black and white cookie- the Yin and Yang of cookies. Don't want just one flavor? No problem.
- White chocolate chunk hazelnut- sounds delicious to me!
- Le Petit Ecolier- I can't say no to a hard layer of milk chocolate on top of a buttery biscuit.
- Spritz cookies- I enjoy them when they have a white-chocolate glaze, but they're pretty good plane too.
- Hazelnut Meringues- A cookie with a great texture and fantastic flavor.
So what would your holiday cookie list be? Let us know by commenting or tweeting @CandyUSA
