DH makes awsome chocolate with white chocolate chips and macadamia nut cookies. I'm not supposed to eat cookies but I eat those. :blush:
We also like Wandi's. They're Italian cookies, we get at the bakery. They are very light with confectionary sugar on them. Almost like funnel cakes but a lot lot lighter.
I love the pizzelles too. :)
I love plain old chocolate chip cookies, but at Christmas I always make buckeyes. Peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate. They are so yummy. I also love homemade sugar cookies.
Any chance we can make a cookie recipe thread, some of these cookies sound great!!
Mine would have to be the decorated sugar cookies. This is not my favorite because I love the taste...they are my favorite because my kids have such a great time making and decorating them...No taste could beat their excitement.
The kids and i make frosted sugar cookies, pecan tarts and russian tea cakes during the holidays. My fil loves the russian tea cakes, so we always make an extra batch for him.
The first year i was a mom I wanted so hard to have a great Christmas for my DH and DD. I made a whole Christmas dinner (first time..ever!) and baked a bunch of different cookies the whole day before. None of the recipes were tried and true, only recipes i had found in a recipe book.
Well, my dinner was awful, and i mean awful, and none of the cookies were edible except for one kind, a white chocolate cherry shortbread. I was so upset. Ever since that first Christmas, I always make the cherry shortbread cookies and remember how they came to be a tradition. Oh, and by the way, I can make a mean turkey dinner now :)
anise and almond biscotti. My grandma used to always make them, and I started to after she passed away. Not Italian in our family, but we can appreciate a divine cookie!
My fav is Santa's surprise it's a PB based sugar cookie that you then roll a snickers, milky way or 3 muskateers in the middle and bake. When your done you drizzle hot fudge/chocolate over the top. They are so good and every cookie swap I go to this one is requested.
Definitely gingerbread. My DD4 actually loves these and she is a very picky eater. I may venture this year and try to make my own!!
There are some awesome sounding cookies! Who's gonna have that cookie swap!?!
My favorites are chocolate muddies.... which is a Chocolate Chip Chocolate cookie with fudge and different types of chips (white, milk, dark) Also, I love my sugar cookies!
I keep thinking of more and more cookies... you can't go wrong with cookies! YUMMY!
My family always makes traditional shortbread at this time of year. So yummy!
I have also started making ginger sparklers this time of year although they are so good I sometimes make them for other occasions as well.
