Really yummy, but just ridiculously complicated to make.  Also from Bon Appetit.

12 Days of Cookies: Day 3, Lemony Slice and Bakes

From the wonderful Bon Appetit magazine...  And for the record, my cookies looked nothing like this.  They were quite delicious, though.

12 Days of Cookies: Day 2, Molasses Sugar Cookies

When I was first told about these cookies, I didn't think they sounded that great.  I mean, molasses doesn't really get my taste buds watering.  But then my mother-in-law Karen made them for me and they quickly became one of my favorites.  YUM!

12 Days of Cookies: Day 1, Shortbread Cookies

This a favorite in the Jones family.  I believe this is Matt's Grama Betty's recipe.  And it is delicious!
