Holiday Cookies

Are there any holidays besides Christmas that actually have cookies specifically for that occasion? I know Pillsbury makes sugar cookies for every holiday with some design but its not the same as having gingerbread and sugar cookies for Christmas. Its a Christmas tradition in my family that we make sugar cookies using cookie cutters and then decorating them. My family doesn't make gingerbread houses but that is also a common tradition for Christmas.



I am not familiar with many holidays that I don't celebrate so there definitely could be cookies for other holidays. I will research other traditional cookies from around the world and from other cultures for a later blog. If you feel like commenting, tell us about traditional cookies from your family holidays.
