Pfeffernusse, shortbread, and gingerbread have always been my favourite holiday cookies.1

Snickerdoodles are very popular with my family.

You know, it reminds me of an event I went to last year... someone brought over some homemade spritz cookies. They looked gorgeous and there was a big variety... and they tasted like cardboard.
Meanwhile my not-so-great looking cookies were delicious and gone in no time (just basic sugar and almond crescent cookies).
I'm leaning towards those pecan balls for a change though. Or maybe some cranberry pistachio biscotti (I bought a biscotti pan so maybe they will actually look relatively even for once). It doesn't help that I don't care for anise/peppermint/ginger/spiced flavors at that time of the year. Or maybe shortbread. Anyone got a good shortbread cookie recipe?0 -

They must have used a really awful recipe. You can’t skip and real almond and vanilla extracts, and use real butter. Also, some people doesn’t store cookies properly before giving them out, tho spritzers hood up well to longer storage.0 -
I was going to make chocolate chip cookies for my Air Force son over the weekend but forgot to buy chocolate chips. No problem; I modified the recipe on the fly and made him chocolate molasses cookies. (Added 1/2 cup cocoa powder and 1/4 cup molasses to the written recipe. No other changes except for leaving out the chips.)
First time I'd done it; these might become a staple.0 -

My favorite for cookie exchanges are Holy Crap These Are Amazing Cookies (peanut butter cornflake cookies) because most people haven't had them but end up loving them. Plus there's a personal story behind them for me.
But my favorite to make/eat are Buckeyes.
I've heard some people get bitter when people bring no-bakes to cookie exchanges

I found a recipe on Pinterest for Hot Chocolate Cookies a while ago, and my friends and family love them! The texture comes out a bit like a cake brownie in my opinion. https://cookiesandcups.com/hot-chocolate-cookies/
Someone else suggested peanut butter blossoms. Those are delicious and fairly easy to make. My other favorite recipes are more time-intensive. Cut out sugar cookies take time, but they are worth it once or twice a year. My family also has a great recipe for pumpkin bread from scratch.1 -
I love me some preacher cookies!0

I have a cookbook with a recipe for what is basically orange shortbread bars with one end dipped in dark chocolate. They're like the cookie version of those whack-on-the-counter chocolate orange balls. Last year I made simple cinnamon oatmeal cookies and for some reason everyone thought those were the best cookies I had ever made, lol! For a twist on the classic chocolate chip, I add cinnamon, which adds a bit of holiday flair. Or I use banana instead of egg for a banana-chocolate flavor (plus the bonus of being able to eat all the cookie dough you want!)0
