What Christmas cookies are you making this year?

[mandymay]

Cutout sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies (maybe with chocolate kiss drops in the middle), snickerdoodles and some sort of gingersnap cookie.

[shostakovich]

Whatever ones Whole Foods sells. Me + oven = terrible.

Sugar cookie cut-outs
Chocolate chip (maybe)
Rice Krispie treats

[lightbulbsun]

sugar cookies, caramel shortbread, almond cherry biscotti, cranberry pistachio biscotti, oatmeal peppermint, ginger crinkle, peanut butter cup, chocolate chip, and jam thumbprints.

I've already made PA Dutch Sugar Cookies and chocolate chip cookies. I think I will make the Russian tea cakes (thanks artichokie for reminding me of these!). I want to make some kind of peanut butter cookie, but not sure what exactly yet. I'm thinking about some kind of gingerbread or shortbread cutouts too.

I didn't read the replies, so these might be a duplicate, but these are my normal ones:

Choc Chip
Sugar/Snickerdoodle
Choc version of Snickerdoodle
Some type of pumpkin spice
Oatmeal with white choc chips and cranberries
I used to look to do gingerbread, but H hates ginger, so maybe a molasses spice omitting the ginger.

If we have our niece this weekend, cutout sugar cookies

Otherwise, snickerdoodles and 2 batches of eggless cookie dough truffles. Possibly peanut butter golf balls.

we have been experimenting with christmas cookies and sugar substitutes and so far, we have done cutter cookies and the pb blossoms with the hershey kiss.  it's been okay.  i'm making coconut macaroons that look like snowballs and something else for my church ladies swap.

I use the candy cane jo jos for these and they are amazing!

I was thinking of using these this year:



Are the mint jo jos too minty? I was worried it would be overpowering. 

Nope, they are just right.  Those would probably work too! I've not had those though.

What you do is similar to the candy cane joe cookie above. Sandwich peanut butter between two ritz crackers, cover/dip in melted chocolate. Place on Wax paper in fridge. YUMMO.

I love spritz cookies.

I might also do some sort of festive chocolate chip ones but I've already made and eaten/given away 8 dozen cookies.

It's pretty easy.  I only made them for the first time a couple of years ago, but they've always turned out really good.
