perfect cookies as always! and congratulations on being featured in the gift guide!
Hi Marian
I LOVE holly, and these cookies are just too beautiful. You are such a gifted lady. Lovely!
Hi Marian,
You have been my cookie crush since the first day I saw your blog and decided to try making cookies like yours. I use your recipe for all my cookies and have read/watched all your tips and tricks…and I have one question…
Do you ice your cookies on the back of the cookie, as in the side that is flat on the pan? Your edges are just ALWAYS so amazingly PERFECT and I just can’t get that same clean crisp edge that you do…it depresses me every time I see something new from you!
Yessss I love that guide, it is SO cute full of sweet things we all love =)
I was happy to find your holly cookies in there!! They are so perfect, FLAWLESS, really!
Congrats that you made it in the guide, that’s just so awesome!
Btw you inspired me with holly leaf cake pops, I made some myself for the christmas candy bar we set up yesterday, post coming soon!! They turned out really cute, thanks for your idea, sweetie!
Much love and hope your Monday is starting off well.
XOXO, niner 🙂
WoW Marian! Your cookies are so… perfect and ellegant!!! Congratulations! And you look so pretty in the photo as wel.. ;o)
Best regards form Spain and looking forward to see you some day in Madrid!
Isabel

Marian, love your holly cookies and wanted to know what size red gum ball you use to decorate the cookies.
Love the gumballs on the holly! Beautiful cookies as always Marian. Congratulations on being featured in this holiday issue.
Sweet thanks, @ Ajda and @ Janis!
Hi @ Jenny:You’re so cute! Let me see if I can help you… Always take the baking powder out if you’re worried about the edges being crisp, and follow my tips in my ‘preventing spreading’ post. As for decorating, I don’t decorate the underside of the cookie. Maybe if yours had bumps or bubbles on top (you could be overmixing the dough), try gently pressing on your hot cookie when it comes out of the oven (with an oven mitt 😉
What else? Hmmm. Are you using the same gingerbread recipe I am?
Can’t wait to see them, @ niner bakes! Thanks always for your lovlieness! xo
That’s so nice of you, @ Isabel, sweet thanks!! Hope to be in Spain one day.
@ Eftychia: Thank you! 🙂
Thanks so much for your always lovely comments, @ Maria Theresia!
@ marian:Thanks Marian 🙂
I always leave the baking powder out so it can’t be that…I think maybe i’m overmixing them a bit. I re-read your preventing spreading post again and am going to try getting thicker baking pans and placing the cookies on baking paper, hopefully that helps 🙂
I haven’t tried your gingerbread recipe yet (have just used your plain cookie recipe so far) but bought new cookie cutters this week so will whip up a batch this weekend! Thanks for all the help and the amazing inspiration!
I love how simple these are but they look so cute!
Sounds good, @ Jenny, good luck!
Thanks so much, @ sue @ cakeballs, cookies and more!
Hi @ SiDoll: Oops! Missed your question! They are the size that goes in the classic gumball machines… about 1 cm diameter. Hope that helps!
Hola Marian, me encantata tublog,lo tengo en mis favoritos y aprendo mucho de el. Un millón de gracias.
that looks perfect!<3
Hi.. I have a great sugar cookie recipe that doesn’t spread and the cookies hold their shape. I like the ingredients in it, but I am just wondering what I could have done wrong? My last few batches of dough have been flakey and hard to roll. I haven’t done anything differently, I have been following the recipe. Do you know why this might be happening? Thanks.. I love the Holly Cookies..
HI @ Jes: Have you been using a different butter or fat product? Is the humidity where you are any different? (drier/less humidity).
