From Ukraine To Bratt: Christmas Cookie Exchange Brings Neighbors Together

December 18, 2022

Bratt resident Julie Jones hosted  the 1st Annual Bratt Christmas Cookie Exchange Saturday.

She is from Ukraine and wanted to hold the event to meet more people from the Bratt area.

About a dozen people from Bratt braved a cold afternoon at the Travis Nelson Park in Bratt. They enjoyed hot cocoa, Christmas music and, of course, plenty of cookies.

    “What kind of cookies are on that poinsettiaplate”

    They were labeled as “Горішoк”, which translates from Ukrainian to “Nuts” in English. From Google, looks like they are a variation of the traditional Russian “Oreshki” cookies — “a shortbread cookie and delicious dulce de leche buttercream.”

    They are really, really good. :)
