If you could only choose one..

If you could only choose one - favorite Christmas cookie, what would it be?

I know it's tough - choosing only one - even for me, but I think it would be coconut macaroons - only if made using the Duncan Hines Sugar Cookie mix in a box.. Soooooo good!!

If I couldn't find the DH mix (and there have been years when I couldn't), I would go with the "snowballs" (almond nuts inside - which I have to grind to a powder for medical reasons - almond flavoring; a Bisquick dough; and rolled in powdered sugar after they're done baking).. Yum!!

What would you choose?

I guess I would go with classic chocolate chip. However, I'm glad I don't have to choose! I just tried a new recipe for root beer float cookies, and I'm in LOVE with them!!! My kids are too!!!

Chocolat chip cookies the rest of the year but at Christmas, I need those sugar cookies with the colored sugar crystals on top fresh from the oven.

Oh, I am drooling just thinking of them now!

My Grandma's cutout sugar cookies. Her cookies are the BEST.

It doesn't take much to please me, my favorite cookie in the world is Peanut Blossom Cookies. LOVE them and have bought 4 kinds of kisses to use this year!!!

If it has to be a cookie then Gingerbread for Christmas, and if it can be a bar cookie, hands down, Turtle cookie bar.

Yes - that was me.. I used to make them in all different flavors - using the various shaped discs that came with my electric Cookie Shooter - and not only were they a big hit, but once you get the "hang" of the electric shooter, they come out so perfectly shaped and pretty, you would swear they were from a fancy bakery..

The lime Christmas trees were always a "must" - as well as the "wild berry" flavors, which really have quite a "zing" to them..

My new favorite is Otis Spunkmeyer's Holiday Joy.(It has peppermint chips!!)

 

[momof1princess]

my favorite cookie is my own, old fashioned teacakes. i use DH's grandmother's recipe, and everyone who tries them, loves them. i make quite a mess of my kitchen when i make them, but they're worth it.

but the recipe came from my Mom, now long gone..her version has currants in it, does yours?..and they ALWAYS have to have the glazed topping tinted pink, or it doesn't seem like Christmas! My husbands favorite are his great grandmothers sugar cookies, cookie cutter shapes, decorated or frosted, in fact we just made 2 batches of these the other nite..thanks for starting this thread, C.Ann, it brought back lotsf memories!
Happy Holidays!

I LOVE spritz cookies. But some people can't make "good" ones... I don't like them if they are dry....

That is easy - Chocolate Chip.
