Need ideas for a cookie swap

I'm going to a cookie swap next week and I need ideas for an easy recipe. I need to bring about 2 dozen cookies and copies of my recipe. I'd prefer a typical holiday type cookie but it doesn't have to be. Please HELP!!!

Re: Need ideas for a cookie swap

Have you seen the 12 days of Christmas cookie thread....lots of around the world holiday cookies

Or I always enjoy Pffeuferneusse (sp?) this time of year

Re: Need ideas for a cookie swap

I have some great cookie recipes, some simpler than others. Molasses Crinkles, which are sort of like a ginger or spice cookie. Snickerdoodles, which are cinnamon and sugar cookies and soooooo good. Peanut Butter Bars or Brownies (I have a simple from-scratch recipe) or Lemon Squares... Let me know if you want any recipes!

I make Meringue cookies every year. You can dye them red or green with a drop of food coloring to make them more festive.

3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 sugar

Heat the oven to 200 degrees and line your cookie sheet with tinfoil.

Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy. Add cream of tartar and beat until the form soft peaks, then star to add sugar little by little. Continue to mix until the form hard peaks (if you remove the mixer blades, the egg white will stand almost straight up where you pulled out the mixer)

Place in teaspoons sized blobs on the cookie sheet, or you can use a pastry bag (I dont).

Bake 1.5- 1.75 hrs, then turn off the oven and leave the cookies in overnight. This makes them crispy.

They must be stored in a tupperware, or they will get soggy.

These take a while to bake, but like 15 minutes to prepare.
