The holiday cookie assortment is a complicated beast. It has to be a perfect mix of colors, shapes, textures and flavors. Opening a tin with 50 shades of brown is simply not festive. You want cookies that shine and sparkle, that dazzle. But there is one standard that I think should absolutely be in every holiday assortment: some kind of ginger/spice cookie. On this I stand firm. It is the cookie of the season and you simply cannot leave it out. This is that cookie. Yes, it is brown.

I went to New Orleans for the first time last fall, to cook at a wonderful Emeril Lagasse event – Carnivale du Vin – held for his foundation. It’s in Vegas this year – 11/14 at The Venetian – with 20 chefs and will be outstanding. If you’re into food and hob nobbing with celebrity chefs, this is the place to be. Check it out. Fantastic event.
