Truffles & Fudge

Okay, so they aren’t technically cookies… but fudge has always been a staple around Christmas for me, too. These recipes must be kept chilled, so I don’t recommend including them in a cookie box for neighbors, or they might melt in transit.

Reader Feedback: How many varieties of cookies do you make for the holiday season? My family used to make at least 3-5 varities, but now that I have young kids, I stick to 2 varities to keep things easier.
