]]> For many families in the United States, the holiday season means one thing when talking about food: cookies! You’ll find all kinds of tasty cookies on tables throughout the country, waiting for guests to arrive and devour them.

Here are the three definitive cookies that make the holiday season the holiday season.

Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles are our personal favorite wintertime treat. These cookies are soft and delightful and they are covered with cinnamon sugar that makes them a perfect complement to the cool weather of the holiday season.

Let cookie season commence! What’s your favorite holiday cookie? I’m hard pressed to choose but it may just be snickerdoodles. . These cinnamon-sugar-crusted cookies have a delicate tang to them due to the cream of tartar in the dough. It sounds like a weird ingredient but it’s necessary for the flavor and the rise of these cookies. Nerd note: cream of tartar is actually tartaric acid, and when combined with baking soda (a base) it creates carbon dioxide gas to puff those snickerdoodles. Isn’t baking science awesome? . Find the recipe by clicking the link in my profile and searching “snickerdoodles”! . . . #damnthatsdelish #foodfluffer #thebakefeed #foodtographyschool #feedfeed #tastingtable #forthemaking #BHGfood #foodblogfeed #bakedfromscratch #bakinglove #f52grams #foodbloggerpro #bakersofinstagram #TOHfoodie #foodphotography #canonphotos #canoneos #cookies #kitchn #huffposttaste #pinterestinspired #cookiesofinstagram #snickerdoodles #bakingblog #shareyourtable #snickerdoodle #christmascookies @thefeedfeed @thefeedfeed.baking

Gingerbread

Gingerbread men and gingerbread houses are two of the hallmarks of the holiday season! Made with ginger, cloves, and nutmeg and sweetened with honey or brown sugar, this rich cookie is perfect with a hot cup of coffee.

Pizzelle

The United States has a huge tradition of Italian immigration, so it should be no surprise that this thin, wafer-like cookie with intricate designs is a holiday staple in America. You’ll find it in large concentrations in cities like Chicago and Philadelphia with large Italian populations.

]]> If there’s one country on Earth that does it right for the holidays in terms of food, we’d have to say that that country is Spain. In addition to the extravagant and fabulous seafood feasts that families prepare to celebrate the Christmas holidays, these Mediterraneans also know how to do sweets right.

Here are three Spanish sweet treats that are delicious and one-of-a-kind.

Turrones

If there’s one holiday treat that is world-famous outside of Spain, it has to be turron. This candy comes in two varieties, hard and soft, but contains the same ingredients. Made with toasted almonds, egg whites, honey, and sugar, this delicious treat is beloved both in and outside of the country’s borders.

Polvorones

Polvorones are a crumbly shortbread cookie that originates from the southern region of Andalusia. Served inside of a wrapper, it’s important to compress the cookie into a ball with your hand before opening it. If not, it crumbles all over the place and is difficult to eat!

Alfajores

This dessert, which is now especially popular in other Spanish-speaking countries such as Argentina and Uruguay, originated in the times of Moorish rule in the Iberian Peninsula. Consisting of a wafer exterior with an interior consisting of dulce de leche, this sweet sandwich cookie is beloved in southern Spain.
