No matter how many types of beautiful cookies festoon a holiday gathering, this poinsettia cookie always cause the most buzz. It also disappears first.
This is a delicious rolled cookie, tender, buttery, and not too sweet—which is tinted and shaped to look like a pink poinsettia. No matter how many types of beautiful cookies festoon a holiday gathering, this one always causes the most buzz. It also disappears first.
Luckily, these cookies look more difficult to make than they actually are. The shaping technique is easy, although it does require just a bit of attention and patience. You will be well rewarded though for your efforts.

I love almond flavored anything so these look wonderful. I may try to make these with a paleo flour blend this weekend!! So festive
Lauren, me too. 🙂
Oh these look so festive and delightful! With almond and butter flavors – I am totally sold to these! Yum!!!
These are absolutely beautiful, I want to make them with my kids soon!
These are so pretty and they sound delicious!
These remind me of spritz cookies, which happen to be my favorite. I have a feeling these would be my “new” favorite.

Tiffany made these for Christmas & they were wonderful. I lucky to have brought some home & Selaam & I just finished the last ones this morning. Definitely a deliciously special cookie!
Thank you, EB, I’m so glad you liked them! I’ve got another sensational cookie for you and Tiffany that I’m testing today for LunaCafe’s February All Chocolate All Month It’s All about Love celebration. Nuvrei Bakery in the Pearl (http://www.nuvrei.com/) makes these and I have to buy one every time I am anywhere near their little shop or one of the coffee shops that sells their goodies. They are intensely chocolately, loaded with walnuts, and wonderfully chewy. I’m now offically addicted to them. 🙂
