i don't know the name of it or the recipe actually.. but it is a buttery/toffee graham cracker cookie.. you make it on a large cookie sheet then break it up.. it was a gift, but i LOVED them!
Gingerbread cookies and peppermint chocolate cookies are my holiday faves! :)
I have the most fun making and decorating sugar cookies with my "kids" (youngest is 14), but we have the most fun eating fudge. I make it just once a year -- can't justify putting all that real butter and sugar on my hips any more often.
I guess my all-time favorite cookie is Peanut Butter Blossoms - the ones with the big Hershey's kiss on top. Yummmmmmm!:love:
Peanut Butter Bars. Love this tiime of year!!
The Barefoot Contessa's Rugelach. cream cheese cookie dough filled with walnuts,cinnamon and sugar, and apricot jam...:angel:
Mine are Gingerbread men. That is what I had for my birthday every year from the time I was 1 year old. It was also the kick off of the Holiday season with the tree going up on Dec. 10th which is my parents Anniversary.
Also I love frosted Sugar cookies.
Tonight I will be making Gingerbread men, and the third batch of Chocolate Caramels.
Mine and dh's fav. cookies that we only have a Christmas time is an old standby....oatmeal scotchies. My s-i-l makes them and we eat them all when we go up to NH after Chrismas!!!
I don't make them myself ever...because we would just eat them all WAY to quickly!:blush:
I like them all, but my favorites are the easiest to do. Dip pretzel rods in melted white chocolate then sprinkle with christmasy sprinkles. They are a huge hit every year.
I think they are magic cookie bars or something like that. I make them at Christmastime for my family - which is truthfully more for me, as they don't really care for them but it's a good excuse. They have just about anything and everything you can imagine on a graham cracker crust - chocolate pieces, butterscotch pieces, coconut, caramel pieces & nuts.
I love homemade divinity, and I've only ever had it around Christmas time.
Peanut Butter Blossoms. Peanut butter cookes with a hershey kiss in the middle. :sunshine2:
I really like the cut out cookies with the icing. I have such a good recipe that uses cream cheese....yummy....
But I also really like "coal" It is melted white chocolate with oreos crushed up in it, and then dried. Looks a bit like coal! Again....YUMMY!
Spritz Cookies. It isn't Christmas until we bake the Spritz (butter cookies pressed from a cookie gun) Yummy!!!
It's not Christmas without my grandma's butter cookies! It's just like a sugar cookie with sprinkles, but I think she only makes them in winter. She brought me a box of them when she and my family were over to put up my tree last Sunday.
white chocolate pumpkin cookies....sooo yummy
Definitely frosted sugar cookies for me! :eat:
I love homemade biscottis my friend makes
My favorite this time of year is a molasses cookie I got from Martha Stewart. they are big and so chewy and so good. LOVE THEM
I would have to say Lady Locks, I only make at Christmas and I just love them. Never think to make them any other time of year.
My Mom's Peanut Squares! She only makes them at Christmas. The recipe is a highly guarded family secret that Mom has refused to share with her sisters, LOL. I do have it and tried to make them once, but they came out nowhere near as good as my Mom's.
She makes a special cake in a jelly roll pan. Not like cake from scratch - this has scalded milk and other stuff in it. She cuts the cake into rectangles and coats the rectangles in a special frosting she makes. Then she rolls these in finely chopped peanuts.
There have been serious family fights over these if someone eats too many and others feel they haven't gotten their share. One year my oldest sister practically gobbled a whole container, and my Dad pitched a huge fit (I joined him!) so now Mom gives everyone their own Tupperware container of squares, LOL.
They freeze really well too. One year I found a container hidden in the freezer that she had forgotten - it was like striking oil! Woo hoo!

I love the Sugar Cookies with sprinkles that we make for Santa!!
My mom use to make awesome pecan pies so DS18 and I now make them in her honor!!
My Grandmother's Sugar Cookies, Russian Tea Cakes, Chocolate Drop Cookies....YUMMY
:santa: :eat:
A tradition I do with my kids is every Christmas Eve we make reindeer cookies. I used to have a recipe, but now we just do slice 'n bake peanut butter cookies, mini pretzel twists for antlers, M&M's for eyes, red hots for noses. They come out so cute, are so easy, and we HAVE to make these for Santa every year.
Bourbon Balls-Lots and lots of them!!!
We gave up on "Holiday" cookies. We bake the ones we like the best - peanut butter with the Kiss - all year long. Our recipe is flourless and the cookies are great.
But, once a year, I buy cookies - the star shaped ones. They are sort graham cracker-like with dark chocolate covering them. Pretty much the only store bought cookie I like. We also buy Panatonne (spell?) this time of year as a special Holiday treat.
My favorite is Pizzelles! But I really have never met a cookie that I don't like!
Butter Horns - yum!
This was hard to answer because I make a lot of different holiday cookies/treats each year.
I will pick Joe Froggers....a really large molasses cookie. yummy
snowballs are great! they have to have the nuts in them and covered in that yummy powdered sugar. my second...my aunt marie's snickerdoodles. mmmmm, snickerdoodles.
I'm another one for simple decorated sugar cookies.
I am not a baker, or a cook for that matter. But my Mom makes 40 different kinds of Christmas Cookies every year, and makes up wonderful trays to give out as Christmas gifts - she's incredible!! So it's hard to pick a favorite - but she does have a brownie with chunks of peppermint patties in them that are fantastic!! Can't wait to get mt cookie plate!! :love:
Gee! Nearly all of the cookies our family makes at Christmas are only made at this time of year, so this is a tough choice.
Probably the most memorable is a an oatmael/brown sugar cookie similar to lace cookies but when they come out of the oven, you roll them up on a dowel rod or pencil (cursing the entire time because they are screaming hot!). When they cool and become hard, you dip one end into melted chocolate. The first time we made them, my very young (at the time) nephew called them "Reindeer Hooves." So they have now become a family tradition. It wouldn't be Christmas without them . . . or the burnt fingertips!
My favorite cookie I make for the holidays is a Gooey Butter cookie (it's so easy!).
Although it isn't a cookie, my Grandma always made Struvoli an italian dessert. I try to make a batch every Christmas in honor of her. I have a great appreciation for the time she took to make these because it's time consuming and she would make tons to give away.
