A Little Christmas Treat with Every Cup of Coffee

There’s something magical about the festive season that calls for warm kitchens, the scent of cinnamon and vanilla, and the joy of baking. This year, I decided to dive into the Christmas spirit by baking a batch of Christmas cookies. These little delights are small enough to enjoy with every cup of coffee—perfect for spreading some cheer throughout the day.

I wanted to create something that felt festive but wasn’t overly indulgent. The idea of bite-sized cookies came to me as I was sipping my morning coffee. Why not make treats that complement a hot drink without overwhelming it? A little sweetness to brighten the moment without guilt.

After mixing, rolling, and baking, I ended up with a tray of golden-brown cookies that filled the house with the most delightful aroma.

These cookies are the perfect size to pair with a cup of coffee. They’re crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and just sweet enough to complement the bitterness of coffee. I’ve been keeping a small plate of them by the coffee pot, and it’s become a little ritual to grab one (or two) whenever I make a fresh cup.

Baking these cookies has reminded me how small, thoughtful touches can make the season feel special.  They’re easy to make, delightful to eat, and a lovely way to make your coffee breaks a bit more festive.

Wishing you all a holiday season filled with warmth, joy, and plenty of cookies!
