This week, Mariah Carey will be releasing her brand new holiday album, ‘Merry Christmas II You.’ The singer is celebrating the spirit of the upcoming season with the recent premiere of her catchy single ‘Oh Santa!’, but she’s also been getting festive in the kitchen. Carey has whipped up a special Christmas cookie recipe, which PopEater is exclusively debuting.
Come Nov. 2, you’ll be able to listen to the full ‘Merry Christmas II You’ album — which features a new recording of the smash hit ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You,’ as well as classic holiday songs — as you bake. Find out how to make Carey’s Christmas cookies after the jump.
Mariah Carey’s ‘Merry Christmas II You’ Cookies
Serves 4 dozen
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon of lemon zest
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions: Cream butter, gradually add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, milk, vanilla and lemon zest. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add to creamed mixture. Chill for easy handling. Roll out dough to 1/8″ thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut dough into festive holiday shapes with floured cookie cutters. Bake on a cookie sheet in a preheated 350-degree (Fahrenheit) oven for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Decorate with icing and green and red sprinkles.

Mariah Carey is giving birth in more ways than one.
The music superstar’s just-confirmed pregnancy is getting lots of attention, but her immediate focus is on Tuesday’s (Nov. 2) unveiling of her second holiday CD, “Merry Christmas II You.”
For the rest of the year, she’ll be making the media rounds to promote it, and she admits she’s already feeling the effects of tackling such a schedule in her current condition.
“That’s the thing,” the friendly Carey tells Zap2it. “I was like, ‘Interviews? Today?’ I worked so late last night, it was to the point where I got home and didn’t even have the strength to take my makeup off.
“One perk was that I woke up today still looking good! I mean, even my hair. I had this sort of flip thing going on. I slept with a well-positioned neck pillow, and when I woke up, my flip was still good.”
“Merry Christmas II You” offers many seasonal standards, including an “Extra Festive” update of Carey’s own classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” She says hearing that song “keep coming back always makes me so overwhelmed. It really, really makes me happy. A lot of people don’t realize that I also co-wrote it [with Walter Afanasieff].
“I was working up to the last day they made me hand in the album, and there was one time when it was a 24-hour marathon. I wasn’t telling anybody I was pregnant yet, and I knew I was in pain — but I was like, ‘Whatever I have to do to get this done.’
“I knew I had to get ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ done,” Carey adds, “and at the last minute, [composer-arranger] Marc Shaiman saved the day. People don’t do these big orchestral sessions that much anymore.”
As for possible baby names? Carey reports she and her “America’s Got Talent”-host husband, Nick Cannon, began discussing those “a long time ago. We’re just waiting to see. I was doing two videos yesterday, and I didn’t even watch the interview (on NBC’s “Today,” in which Carey revealed her baby news). I’ll look at that on a plane, maybe.”
Carey envisions spending much of the holiday season in New York, with an itinerary that includes a performance on the annual NBC special “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” Tuesday, Nov. 30. Another television consideration for her is one that many top artists have these days … the possible use of her catalog on the FOX series “Glee.”
“I believe there have been some discussions about a potential melding there,” Carey says, “and I would love to explore that. I’m not a rabid watcher [of the show], but that’s only because of my schedule. Truth is, I get the DVDs of some of my favorite shows, then just end up watching those all the time.”

MARIAH CAREY has new mum CELINE DION to thank for her pregnancy – she tried acupuncture to help her conceive after hearing the Canadian superstar rave about the treatment.
After suffering a miscarriage in 2008, Carey started looking for fertility advice – and she found it in a most unlikely place.
The Hero singer tells Access Hollywood, “Celine was talking about acupuncture. I used to get acupuncture, and I had never thought (of it) with regards to the trying to conceive situation.
“I was (getting acupuncture), like, once a day at least. It was on a schedule, everything. For the first time in my life, I spent time in one place.”
Carey admits the regular treatment helped her battle stress, and she’s sure that helped her get pregnant.
The star adds, “People who know me would be like, ‘You scheduled acupuncture at a certain time every day? You stayed in one place?”
She also turned to hormone treatments to increase her fertility chances: “I put my body through like a whole kind of cleansing kind of situation and prepared. I had to be on progesterone. I did end up being on progesterone like every month to go through the cycles.”
But the fertility methods led to news of the singer’s pregnancy hitting the headlines before she knew she was with child.
Carey explains, “It also bloats you, it also puts on weight. So then, everybody was like, ‘Oh, the weight gain, she’s definitely pregnant!’”
