Favorite Christmas cookies?

So I made some cutouts, and some spritz cookies so far.  I have one more Kev requested we try from my latest Every Day food mag (a pistachio short bread with strawberry jelly sandwiched between them) but I think I need one more for my Christmas desert tray. Suggestions?  No nuts allowed :o)

Re: Favorite Christmas cookies?

  • I think most of my favs have peanut butter in them. :(

    I made these smores cookies the other year but they were very labor intensive. Let me see if I can dig out the recipe.

    oreo balls are always top of the list too.

  • My fave are the Mexican Wedding Cookies (or Russian Tea Cakes, depending on who you're talking to :) - I know they traditionally have nuts but I think you could leave them out. DH also loves orange cookies and they don't have nuts - I can send you the recipe if you like:)
  • My MIL's chocolate rum balls. No idea of what's in them, though.

  • My favorites are buckeyes. My favorite without nuts would be snickerdoodles.

  • Chocolate Crinkles.  They remind me of my Gram, Gigi.  She always made at least 10 different kinds of christmas cookies, but these were by far my favorites.

  • Buckeyes, lady locks (is that considered a cookie?), those cookies with the hershey kisses in them...really, I cold go on and on.  All Christmas cookies are my favorite!
  • Mae makes these awesome lemon white chocolate chip cookies... 
  • I made two new ones this year that I think are pretty good.  Chocolate thumb prints with raspberry jelly (recipe from the chew)

    and ginger-doodles (or snicker-snaps)-you take a ball of gingersnap dough and a ball of snickerdoodle dough and you roll them together.  It's actually are really good combo and the name is fun to say.

     
  • A new favorite I made last year for first time were raspberry thumbprint cookies. We usually just make MIL's sugar cookie cutouts and they are the best sugar cookies I've ever had. Although this year I think dh messed something up because they are not good, haha!!

    my absolute favorites my mom makes and they are apricot mini roll cookies.

  • so i didn't know what a chocolate crinkle was, but when I googled I recgonized them right away because I just pinned that recipe (named something else though).  I think they win. If I feel like making more cookies tomorrow Wink
  • I'm not much of a cookie maker (maybe next year!).  Ever since my mom taught me her recipe, I've been in charge of making pizzelles.  It takes forever, but it's worth it!
