Schackrutor, translating to “chess squares,” are traditional Swedish cookies known for their striking checkerboard or striped pattern.

Flavored with peppermint and colored to look like little candy canes, these cookies are charming, whimsical, and delicious.

This Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookie recipe is inspired by cookies from the Victorian era, decorated with nuts and dried fruit, and made soft and chewy with sour cream.

Similar to gingerbread or even gingersnaps, these vintage holiday Ginger Drops Cookies are even better, in my opinion.

Chewy oatmeal cookies filled with sweet, ripe apples! These easy to make cookies are the perfect fall treat.

This year, I was inspired by recipes from my ancestral heritage and recipes from the 19th century.

These holiday cookies are magical and full of memories for me. From peppermint candy cane cookies to chocolate crinkles, chewy gingerbread men, and my grandma’s top secret recipe that everyone absolutely loves, there’s something inside this year’s Christmas cookie box for everyone!
