What types of Christmas cookies do you make?
I usually make 8-10 different kinds... most of them the same from year to year... I am looking to change it up a little this year... what kinds of cookies do you make? Give me some new ideas! :)
Usually make:
Rainbow (still making those!)
Chocolate Chip or M&M (still making those)
Chocolate Chip Shortbread logs
Lemon Cookies
Peanut Butter Cookies
Coconut Cookies
and more!

Re: What types of Christmas cookies do you make?
My mom and I make butter cookies together every year. She has an old electric cookie press that works great, and we use that. So much fun!

Re: What types of Christmas cookies do you make?
How do you store all of those?
And, are rainbow cookies really difficult to make?
You obviously don't have a toddler and work full time. I wish I had the time to make lots of cookies!

well i ahev 2 stpe children that basically live with us & I do work full time.. I start the day after thanks giving & do em every night..
I store them in those large storage bins, its actually the ones that i keep my ornaments in & then once the tree goes up i have the bins for them . I just lay them in between tissue paper, I find that if you store them in metal bins or aluminum tins they get hard
etd to say that the rainbow are actually the easiest that i make

Re: What types of Christmas cookies do you make?
So far this year--nothing! I sually make shortbread ( the easiest thing ever) & spritz cookies ( in a cookie press) if I have the energy.
I want to make the rainbow cookies, but I think I'm the only one in my family who likes them!
