Sure, Christmas is the time for spending time with family and friends and giving...but let's be honest it's also the time for cookies. There is no debating it- a good cookie is worth its weight in gold, but let's face it- between the parties, the shopping, the gift wrapping and everything else going on during this time, baking the perfect cookie isn't exactly on the top of everyone's list. Here's the secret though- the fact that Pepperidge Farms exists means that you don't have to make the perfect cookie- they do it for you!
Now, I enjoy a good baking session every so often, but for my money, the Pepperidge Farm varieties are so perfectly done that they always satisfy my craving- and this holiday they have introduced so gloriously festive types. Take their peppermint Milanos. Imagine the crispy, buttery milano, filled with not only rich dark chocolate, but also a perfect hint of peppermint to incorporate that classic pairing.
During the holiday season they also sell boxes stuffed full of all different types of their cookies, from Milanos to chessmen and everything in between. These are the perfect assortments to put out at any holiday party- or to snack on during those amazing Christmas movie marathons they run!
I gotta say though- my favorite this year were their gingerbread men. Sweet and Spicy, crisp and delicious- these guys were perfect on their own, but I decided to jazz them up a bit. I swapped them into Martha Stewart's Cookie Pie Crust and then used the crust as the base for my Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie. The flavor of these cookies made that pie irresistible, so much more fun than your average pie crust.
In my mind, Pepperidge Farms does very little poorly- if at all. Their holiday selections of cookies are perfectly delicious and the most wonderful way to honor your friends and family.
