These were a hit last year and I iced and decorated some of them as well. First time I made them, basic, easy as tasty.0 -
Well I am the real life cookie monster so I love them ALL!!!
But I do have a slight bias towards peanut butter chocolate no-bakes, macaroons, and Italian wedding cookies. Oh and molasses cookies are a fav too!0 -
My grandma's sour milk cutout cookies with powdered sugar frosting!0

Oh yes! I’ve made them a few times but they are soooooo addicting!0

Icebox cookies (butterscotch cookies where the dough is frozen before baking)0

Not so much as a holiday cookie - but my favorite are alfajores with dulce de leche and coconut. So tasty!
There's a Peruvian sandwich shop near my house, and the owner's mom makes them. They're awesome.
Here's an Argentinian recipe:

My all-time personal favorite is the cuccidatti, a Sicilian fig cookie -- but it's a LOT of work. Here's a recipe that's very close to what my Sicilian relatives made for the holidays (I've used a white chocolate icing on them in the past, which works well but the "classic" icing is great, too):

If you like peanut butter balls, you might like these "non-cookies". We always had them at Christmas, but I think grandma put nuts in them too:

The oatmeal makes them nutritious and destroys most of the calories from the other ingredients.

Her recipe is very similar to this one posted above without the nutmeg.

You can sour the milk with white vinegar. I’m sure you can google the quantity.
The frosting was just powdered sugary and water to desired consistency.
It would be good with the nutmeg too, I’m not saying don’t use it, just that our family recipe doesn’t have it
Enjoy!0 -

You're sweet...thanks so much! I'm a sucker for soft, cutout cookies with frosting (buttercream frosting just takes it over the top for me)

This is the recipe I have been playing around with: https://www.mycolombianrecipes.com/alfajores I subbed butter for unrefined coconut oil (yum - it has a coconut flavor!) and found that it was too much fat for the cookie. I reduced the oil to 2/3 a cup and the texture of the cookie is almost right.\
The fig filling in the cuccidatti sounds heavenly!0 -
My late Mother used to make Ginger Snaps, and they were a go to for me as a kid. But my favorite is peanut butter chocolate chip...........either or and you are my friend!0

If oatmeal destroyed calories, I would be in luck. Sorry, no such thing!!1 -
