This year’s cookie tray includes eggnog cookies, starlight mint surprise cookies, apricot brandy balls, peanut butter cookies, rye pecan thumbprints with orange marmalade, raspberry nut pinwheels, brownies, lingonberry tarts, caramels, cranberry pistachio cookies, and a new favorite, Grandma Dorie’s ricotta cookies. This last recipe comes from Italy via Brooklyn, as reported in last December’s New York Times.
