Holiday Kipferl Cookie image

My family has been making the classic kipferl cookie on December 1 every year since I can remember. During the last two weeks of December, we make them with the addition of dried cranberries and toasted pecans for Christmas time. -Brooke Maynard, Poughkeepsie, New York

I'm not a big fan of powdered sugar, so I didn't use it on my cookies. They were still delicious.
