The Times staff shares holiday recipes

The staff of the Davenport Times wants to wish you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season. In the spirit of giving, we wanted to share our favorite Christmas cookie recipes with you:

From Georgia Smith, Front Office and Advertising Representative: A few years ago my family wanted me to find a new Christmas cookie to try. I decided to try the “Italian Ricotta Christmas cookie.”. I was unsure of Ricotta Cheese in a cookie, but decided to give it a try. They are wonderful light, sweet and fluffy. One of our families favorites today and many Christmases to come.
