It's almost winter break and we're all greatly looking forward to holiday treats. Here are some of the best Christmas cookies ever.

1. Mom's chocolate marshmallow cookies

Complete with a fudge topping; who said marshmallows were only for s'mores?

2. Oreo Balls

Oreos were great to begin with, but make them into little bundles of goodness, and they become 10x better.

3. Peanut butter blossoms

Best served fresh out of the oven when the Hershey's kiss is gooey, and the cookies are warm.

4. Grandpa's favorite chocolate thumbprints

Sprinkled with powdered sugar to add a little bit of sweetness. Don't forget to bring these to Christmas dinner!


5. No-bake peanut butter oatmeal cookies

It's what inside that counts! Simple, yet heavenly!


6. Grandma's Ginger Snaps

One of my favorites, and the best treat to pair with a cup of hot chocolate or tea. It's impossible to just have one of these melt-in-your-mouth treats!


6. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Always a favorite, and always best served right out of the oven.


7. Frosted Sugar Cookies

Is it even Christmas if you don't have the Christmas tree cookie or the star with too many sprinkles?


8. Great-Grandma's Kolackies

Made in thumbprint form, these are a Christmas tradition in my family, with a recipe that has been passed down through several generations. A classical Christmas treat!


9. Chocolate Peanut Clusters (with Christmas Sprinkles, of course).

A little bit of butterscotch, a lot of chocolate, peanuts, and some red and green cheer is all that is needed to make these favorites.

10. And my personal favorite, Buried Cherry Cookies, aka Rudolph Cookies.

My mom, brother and I make these every year to leave out for Santa and Rudolph. The best part is when the fudge is still warm and gooey.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
