I have very fond memories of my grandmother's Christmas cookies. She made butter cookies, Vanillekipferln, Pfeffernusse, Springerle and more. I also loved her apple pie, her pumpkin pie and her mincemeat pie. Man, could she cook. My grandfather supplied the Manhattans and the Sauternes wine.
I also loved it when my father brought home a box of chocolate-covered Christmas-tree cookies from Rudy's Bakery in Ridgewood, Queens.
