Re: From GP - Christmas/Holiday baking!

  • I do two.  I do sugar cookies that I then decorate for both Hanukkah and Christmas, and I do a yule log for Christmas.  I've PIPed last year's log.

  • We always do sugar cookies. I try to make dipped pretzels, peanutbutter balls, and a few other things of goodies but this year. The only thing that will get done is sugar cookies.

  • I'm just pasting my response from GP.

    The ladies of my family all get together for holiday cookie baking. We make spritzes (my fave!!), ginger cookies, what I like to call nut balls (fluffy little ball-shaped cookies with crushed pecans), and anise cookies. It's an all-day affair and we make dozens and dozens of cookies to split amongst us all.

  • What is everyone's favorite sugar cookie recipes? I wanted to make some this year and decorate them but I never seem to be able to find one I like.

  • I use this one from The Joy of Baking.  Tip: Use TONS of flour when rolling out the dough!

  • I found an awesome sugar cookie recipe on all recipes.com that was awesome it was called the best sugar cookies.

    I always do peanut butter balls which are a huge hit around here. Regionally they are not well known so I am the only person I know that makes them. I also do No bake cookies which are my favorite.

    This year I am going to do sugar cookies to decorate, cheesecake squares and maybe minty Oreo balls and maybe something else. I made biscotti one year and that was fun.

  • My family does TONS of cookies for Christmas. Between my 3 aunts, mom, grandma, and me we split the baking. I usually make chocolate chip, oatmeal, sugar/spritz, chewy chocolate and red velvet. I try to throw in a new cookie each year too. My grandma makes two of my favorites which are cocoa butter sticks and walnut balls (not the nicest name, but that's what we always called them). My aunts and mom also make about 3-4 different kinds of cookies. Then we make plates to share and as gifts for family and friends. It's going to be so hard to bake all of these cookies and not be able to eat the dough this year :(. Totally worth the sacrifice though!

  • I usually make anywhere from 18-20 different kinds of cookies.  I tend to end up with anywhere from 75-100 dozen cookies.  :)  My mom does the same thing.  I have yet to make my list for this year, but I told myself that I wouldn't try any new ones this year or even tempt myself with searching for recipes.  Yeah...I'll be making one new kind this year.  I always have the usuals....chocolate chip, peanut butter blossoms, sugar, oreo balls, among others.  I also spend most of one Saturday with my ILs and we make ladylocks all day.  I usually get to bring home about 7 dozen of those.  :)  I love baking!
