Thanksgiving Cookie Recipes

Thanksgiving cookie recipes reflect the holiday by using flavors, colors and decorative items that are commonly found this time of year. While traditional cookie recipes may be varied to reflect the season, they may also be made in their original flavors as a treat for parties, family gatherings or other celebrations.

Apples, cranberries, pumpkins and pears are all harvested in fall. These flavors can be introduced into cookies to reflect the season and compliment a Thanksgiving menu. http://localfoods.about.com/od/finduselocalfoods/a/natlseason.htmSpices such as cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg are used in a variety of recipes for Thanksgiving and can also be found in many baked goods including cookies. http://www.thespicehouse.com/spices-by-category/thanksgiving-spices

Decorating Thanksgiving cookies can be done by creating icings or frosting in traditional Thanksgiving colors such as browns, oranges and reds. For cut-out cookies, shapes such as pumpkins, pilgrim hats, turkeys and leaves can be used to create Thanksgiving cut-out cookies from any recipes. http://www.thecookiecuttershop.com/thanksgivingcookiecutters.shtml

Thanksgiving Cookie History

When passengers set sail on the Mayflower, they also brought along a recipe for cookies. These cookies were prepared before the voyage for passengers to enjoy. The recipe for Joe Froggers was an early cookie creation that included ingredients such as molasses, cloves, ginger and the key ingredient, rum. The rum helped them to remain moist for several months aboard the ship. http://www.mv.com/ipusers/lionmedia/thanksgiving_cookies.htm
