Your favorite holiday cookie?

No bakes!

When I was growing up, Christmas Eve dessert was always fruit salad and an assortment of cookies, baked by my tiny Norwegian Great Grandmother. SO, my faves are Norske Kroner, fattigman, and these crazy thin lacy oatmeal cookies that she used to lay over a rolling pin while hot so they would curl.

We always make Ritz Cracker cookies. Peanut butter between two Ritz crackers dipped in vanilla almond bark. We'd usually put some fun Christmas sprinkles on top. No bake, easy to make, and oh-so-tasty!

I also love a good, soft peanut butter cookie, or a soft chocolate chip. I make them soft but substituting shortening for half the butter and lowering the baking time down a bit. I've learned that if you take them out a minute or two early or so and leave them on the pan, cookies will finish baking, and I like this method because it does keep them softer.

My MIL's sugar cookies are a serious cookie masterpiece. I have never tasted another sugar cookie that can even compare. But my favorite to make myself are these macaroons. The addition of the orange zest is what sets them apart. So yummy.

I don't spread the chocolate (it just looks messy) but I use mini-chips.....all the nooks and crannies.
