I hope you are having a great weekend! On Friday I shared with you the recipe we’re using this year for Santa’s cookies; I called them Santa’s Clif Bar because my oldest was worried about Santa not having enough energy to make it through the night. I had mentioned that I was joining 14 other bloggers in sharing some of our favorite cookie recipes. Today I’d like to share with you all of those recipes! There are some delicious looking cookies here! Check out the pictures below and if you see one you like, click it and see how to make them for yourself! And if you would like to make Santa’s Clif Bar (a.k.a. Candy Cane Sugar Cookies) I’ve included the recipe at the bottom of this post for you too!

- Lightly dust a large cutting board with powdered sugar and roll out dough until it's about 1/2" thick,
- Cut dough in half lengthwise and roll two halves into long loaves.

- Remove dough from fridge and cut into 1/2" thick circles.
- Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 8-12 minutes until edges are golden brown.

- Drizzle on top of cooled cookies
Have a great Sunday and check back tomorrow for Day 6 of The 12 Frugal Days of Christmas!
Haha! That’s so cute! You’ve got one considerate son there; I’ve never heard of a kid being concerned about Santa’s energy level. This sounds like a recipe my niece would absolutely love!
Thank you Christine. He sure is a sweetie! Let me know if you make them and how they turn out!
