The holiday baking season is well upon us – and I am excited to share a delicious Christmas cookie recipe with you, as well as some baking tips and egg nutrition!

As you may know, eggs are one of the most important and indispensable ingredients that are used in baking. They add moisture, color, flavor and nutritional value to the delicious recipes we make. Did you know that more eggs are marketed during the winter holiday season than any other time of year – this includes Easter!

If you live in Ohio, you should know that we are the second largest egg farming state in the nation. We produce more than 9 billion eggs in a year – crazy! Make sure to take a virtual tour of the Lochtefeld family, who are egg farmers from Mercer County, Ohio. They are one of many egg farming families you can meet when visiting OhioEggs.com who are committed to providing excellent care for their flocks, to producing safe, healthy eggs and to protecting the environment for future generations.

To get you into the baking mood, here are some great holiday baking tips from Ohio Egg Farmers:

• Use large eggs in holiday baking! Using a different size egg, without making an adjustment, will affect texture, flavor and consistency. If you don’t have large eggs, use this conversion chart to see how to substitute a different size.
• If your recipe calls for multiple eggs, add one egg at a time. This will help prevent a lumpy batter and will allow it to mix evenly.
• Use an inexpensive egg separator or a funnel to separate eggs, rather than passing the egg yolk back and forth from the shells or your hands, to avoid contamination when a recipe calls for only egg whites or yolks.

Now put these baking tips to use with this delicious Cranberry White Chocolate Cookie recipe! Make a batch for your holiday gathering, or package up the dry mix to give as a gift.
