Re: Christmas Cookie thread

Lemon butter
Coconut chocolate chip
Oatmeal lace
Chocolate krinkles
Palmiers
Peanut butter kisses (DH's request)
Snickerdoodles
Maybe a basic sugar cookie

If I have time, I may experiment with a hazelnut or almond cookie.

I bake the more time consuming cookies on the weekends. If I get home from work early enough, I'll bake a double batch of an easy cookie, like the coconut chocolate chip.
Most of the cookies are given away as holiday gifts.

One thing my family ALWAYS makes at Xmas is Italian pizzelles. Our pizzelle irons have been in the family forever and they make the most PERFECT, thin, crispy pizzelle cookie. They are my absolute favorite!!

I will also make sugar cookies, my chewy fudge brownie cookies, and I'll probably try out a few other new cookies too. I like to try a few different recipes every year. Chat Icon

I think this year I am making

Rainbow cookies
Mexican wedding cookies
Snickerdoodles
Pignolis
Sugar cookies
and I may try these cranberry walnut shortbread cookies I saw!

I usually bake them in one day - I will likely do it next weekend.

Yup we each pick a recipe and just start going. We have two stand mixers going at all times. This year we bought 20 pounds of flour, 20 pounds of sugar, 13 dozen eggs, and 30 pounds of chocolate chips.
