Christmas Cookie Inspo

What are your favorite cookies to make for Christmas? I know it's early, but I want to get ahead so I can potentially make and freeze out cookie dough. I do a big baking weekend in December, and feel like this might save some time and stress. I typically have some tried and true favorites, but enjoy mixing in a few new options each year. I enjoy taking inspiration from different cultures, but have to avoid nuts, besides peanuts, as one of the recipients has a nut allergy and I don't want to risk contamination. Included photo from my Instagram of my Christmas 2022 bakes.

My first kinda successful attempt at bread (naan bread)

Norwegian Skolebrød

Would’ve put coconut on it but didn’t have any

Trying to create the perfect brownie

I'm struggling to make the perfect brownie! I tried different recipes online; this one was by far the best tasting but the texture is a bit weird - it's fudgy in the middle with a crackly top which is perfect, but the edges had tiny air holes and was more cake-like in texture. What should I do to fix this?

First attempt at Dutch Apple Cake

The consistency of the Lemon Curd wasn't perfect, but they were still delicious.
