Amish Christmas Cookies will for sure be on my list of Christmas cookies I absolutely must have for the holiday season. I love the aroma of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg (you can add some ground ginger if you like) combined with brown sugar and molasses. Make a little hole on top of each cookie and you can use them as a Christmas tree decoration as well!
