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!

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
