Christmas Cookies

Christmas cookies, vánoční cukroví, are a big part of the Christmas time tradition over here.


Czechs go crazy for them!  They are normally given out as Christmas gifts.  There are dozens and dozens of different kinds of cookies.  Czechs pride themselves on the number of different cookies they make.  I wonder just how competitive it gets.  I've been told that no self-respecting Czech housewife would make less than 10 different types.   It seems like an awful lot of work to me but they taste so good.
