Cookie-a-Day: Pioneer Woman's favorite Christmas cookies

Pioneer woman's glazed cut out cookies
Our cookie today is not one of my recipes. It doesn't even belong to anyone I know. But I feel confident, judging from the Pioneer Woman's past recipes, that it is a winner. She uses a technique I've never encountered to color her cookies, creating a glaze with egg yolk, water and food coloring in order to get that really lovely, glassy finish on her cookies (I'm sort of sad to only be learning about that method now, but rest assured, I'm adopting it from here on out). I especially love the effect it brings to the Santa cut-outs, because it accentuates his pack and boots. I almost want to bust out the cookie cutters right now. What are you waiting for? Go visit her food site to get the recipe and see all her terrific pictures. And let me know how the cookies turn out.
