Classic Newfoundland Christmas Cookie Recipes

My Nan Morgan's recipe for the softest fudgiest Snowballs ever.

A local bakery favourite and a super easy recipe that many people use in their Christmas baking.

These were made in our household almost on a weekly basis growing up in Newfoundland.

Another real old-time favourite that I remember everyone making back in the 70's.

I dare say there is not a household in the Province that has not seen a batch of these made by either a parent or grandparent.

I call these a cookie bar take on a coconut Bounty candy bar. One of the most popular cookie bar recipes I've ever posted.

Always the most popular recipe on our Rock Recipes in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

Soft, sticky, chewy and spicy. This is a perfect afternoon tea break cookie. Great for the Holidays too, since they are full of such traditional festive flavours.

No bake cookies have always been among our most popular. This very old recipe is another that I remember well from growing up in Newfoundland in the 70's.

More a candy confection than a cookie bar, these are nonetheless another of our most popular recipes, especially during the Holidays.

My twist on making these as balls and cutting in half rather than forming a log. I find it easier that way.

A recipe from my mothers ancient recipe book. Another that was made many many times in our house.

One of my kid's favourite cookie bars since they were born. They still think that Nan makes the best and have been known to raid her Christmas freezer for these while visiting her.

A recipe from a dear family friend that has become part of our family's tradition. My personal favourite no bale cookie bar.

This recipe is new to the list but since I've seen them in local bakeries for many years, they get a Newfoundland stamp from me. So very easy to make as well.

This is a recipe I fist went looking for back in the 80's when they were available from local bakeries as well. After all that time, they are still a local favourite.

This recipe based on a local favourite in Gander has been a big hit on Rock Recipes. Incredibly easy and perfect for cookie making with the kids.
