What's your favorite cookie recipe?
This year the one I'm most excited to make is snickerdoodle with Hershey's cinnamon chips in them - yummm!!
This is also a huge hit every year - Oreo "truffles" (DH calls them Christmas crack 
)
Re: What's your favorite cookie recipe?
For as many cookie recipes as I've tried over the last few years, the gingerbread men still seem to come out on top. I tried a couple new things this year (eggnog cookies and coconut bars) but TBH I'm a bit disappointed in them. The gingerbread men are still #1 in our household.
I also like to make fudge every year. I did white chocolate cherry last year, with all white chocolate chips and dried cherries. This year I did Irish Cream truffle. It's pretty much your basic fudge recipe except 1 cup of Baileys added to it.

Peanut Butter Blossoms are always my favorite.
Oreo Truffles are always a big hit. I do half white and half milk chocolate. This year I also did truffles with Nutter Butters (same recipe) and found some PB candy melts at the specialty candy store that I used to drizzle over so you could tell the difference between the Oreo and Nutter Butter Truffles. They were a big success at our open house last weekend.
My personal favorites, though, are thumbprints. My grandmother used to make them, but instead of actually pressing the thumbprint, she would bake them as little balls and then ice them with powdered sugar icing. They take me back to my childhood. I make them every year for my family now. This year I also made some with red and green candy melts pressed into them before baking. Yum!
Those oreo truffles look amazing!
I love making creme de menthe cookies and everyone raves about them.
