Cookie Baking Nesties...

What's on your Xmas "must bake" list? I feel like I'm forgetting something this year. (Even if you don't bake- what's on your "must eat" list?)

Re: Cookie Baking Nesties...

  • I always make my great grandma's molasses cookies and most of the time I'll do cut outs - when I'm not pg or pp like the past two years. I'm going to try reindeer bark this year in addition to molasses. Must eat - peanut butter with the hershey's kiss. I might even make these to ensure I get some since sometimes no one else makes them. I can't stand fig or jelly cookies.
  • my favorites are buckeyes, peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, rice krispies combined together chilled then dipped in melted chocolate...YUM!!!
  • My must bake:

    Russian teacakes

    Peanut Butter with Hershey's Kiss

    Chocolate Peanut Butter no bakes (with the cooking oats)

    I do these three every year - that's this weekend!  Hooray!  I definitely need to try my hand at those Buckeye ones.  I am a peanut butter-aholic and they sound FABULOUS.

  • I am making cut-outs (I'm having a cookie decorating party for Eva and three of her little friends on Sunday) and if I have time, I'll make pizzelles.  My mom always makes thumbprints, wedding cakes, those cookie press cookies and almond crescents.

  • I keep it pretty simple.. a buttload of sour cream cutouts, some peanut blossoms, and sometimes some molasses cutouts if I feel motivated. My grandma makes THE best molasses cutouts, but I think she purposely gave me a dud recipe because mine NEVER turn out like hers.

  • Buckeyes

    Chocolate Crinkles

    Kolacky

    Gingerbread (a non-molasses kind... SO yummy!  I hate molasses.)

    If I'm feeling super motivated, I'll make Candy Cane Cookies for my brother, but I don't like them that much, and they're a lot of work!!  We used to make caramels as a family, but I haven't done that on my own yet.  

    I'm going to miss Sister Cookie Baking Day this year.  :(  My sister used to come in early from Chicago, and we'd bake all day.   I'll have to recruit B to help!
