    My mom's peanut butter fudge is my favorite. I also love those little Lindt truffles (too much, so I just buy them one or two at a time instead of a value sized pack heh)

    I usually make a lot of things I can take or leave...chewy gingersnaps, sugar cookies, almond bark pretzels. They're all okay but I don't wanna overeat them and can give them away to friends and family who love 'em.

    Spritz for me too!
    Been making them all my life every Christmas!

    Homemade caramels are my favorite homemade Christmas candy.

    I'll take some of everything. :( Frosted Christmas Cookies and peanut butter fudge rank at the top but I can't think of any holiday treats I'd turn away.

    So many things!

    My parents and I make candies most years that are delicious. I'm not participating this year but they will be making them.

    I love shortbread and sugar cookies. Last year I took a cookie decorating class, so I'm looking forward to not just eating cookies but decorating them too.

    And then there are chocolate crinkle cookies and (soft) ginger cookies.

    Have I mentioned I like cookies??

    Shortbread cookies. There's a reason I only make them once a year. :D

    My favorite cookies to make and my favorite to eat are a crescent shaped cookie that my mother made every Christmas time. She called them horseshoe cookies but they have another name that is Hungarian.
    The dough is made and rolled out in a circle with a sweet walnut filling rolled up inside.

    These babies. They have many names, depending on where you’re from but I know them as Mexican Wedding Cookies, or Polverones. Light, lovely, pecan, buttery, powdered-sugary mess.

    These are my favorites too! Mom used to make them. I'll have to get her recipe.

    I've just started making chocolate crinkle cookies recently but have never seen that festive Candy Cane Kiss topping!

    Obviously I love peanut butter and chocolate.

    I usually use regular Hershey's Kisses (dark) but really like those chocolate stars! Never noticed them in stores - will have to look.

    Won't be buying from these guys: https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B00GXUHBP8/ref=acr_dp_hist_1?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&reviewerType=all_reviews#reviews-filter-bar

    The ones in the picture, I made :) I run a small baking business through the Fall (breads, cookies, bars & cake pops) and these are always a big seller. Don’t ask me how I manage not to eat up what I bake. But these in particular are really hard to moderate, so most of the time I just don’t go there with these lol.

    It's not that I DON'T like spritz cookies...but I don't understand the hype over them, I admit.
    I've had them on and off through the years but never made them until a couple years ago when I got a cookie press. I was so excited and then kinda like "that's it!?" because I just think they're really pretty and complicated sugar cookies, sorta.

    @pancakerunner I can't believe you found peppermint cookies on chocolate crinkle cookies, exactly what I said would be so good! You're dangerous!

    That was supposed to say peppermint kisses, I was so excited I couldn't think straight!

    Favorites are peanut butter kisses, persimmon, chocolate crinkle cookies, my Mom's chocolate cake cookies with white frosting, and shortbread. Mom always makes chocolate chip and I associate that with Christmas too. Oh, and my aunt's rainbow cookies, those are awesome!

    I'd love to do what you're doing in the fall! And there are so many outlets in which to sell them. I really would love to make/sell cookie pops. My dd bought some for a bridal shower last summer and they were soooo yummy. But I'd have no luck resisting them. :(

    I just thought of another cookie I bake at Christmas time called Scandinavian Almond Bars, sooo good!! And my mom always made a cookie called Jim Jams which are basically a soft molasses cookie sandwiched with rasp. jam. Another cookie I could eat till I drop. :/
