Alabama NewsCenter — Recipe: Ginger Cranberry Pistachio Shortbread Cookies

By: Andrea Mathis

It’s almost Christmas, y’all. I’m so excited!

Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year. Everything about Christmas is so magical. I love putting up Christmas decorations (I actually started putting up my décor in October), looking at Christmas lights and baking like there’s no tomorrow.

My excitement for Christmas started when I was a little girl. My mom made such a big deal about the holiday season. She would keep the house stocked with hot cocoa and Christmas mugs, and we would watch Christmas movies and wonder what time Santa Claus was making his big appearance. I especially enjoyed leaving cookies for Santa. We would normally leave Chips Ahoy Chocolate Chip Cookies and a glass of milk. I’m not really sure why I was obsessed with that particular brand of cookie. I think I was convinced that Santa loved chocolate chip cookies.
