Day 7 of #25DaysOfCookies! 'Tis the season for a festive batch of our Maple Pecan Swirls. In our search for a #holiday cookie recipe that would yield cookies sturdy enough to decorate yet tender enough to eat, we started with the fat and found the right amount of butter to give the cookies great flavor without making them greasy. We used all-purpose flour in our holiday cookie dough recipe because it gave the dough enough gluten to provide structure. Superfine sugar gave our cookies a fine, even crumb. A surprise ingredient—cream cheese—added flavor and richness to our swirls without altering the texture of the cookies. Grab the recipe (free for today) link in our bio—and don't forget to tag your photos with #ATKHoliday along the way. 🌀🍪
