What kind of holiday cookies have you made, if any?

[jalapeno_pretzel]

In our house we have gingerbread cookies, snicker-doodles, m&m chocolate chip, shortbread, thumbprints, oatmeal-cranberry, and getting ready to add sugar cookies today or tomorrow. Debating trying out a couple of new ones also. A lot of the dough gets made in advance and frozen, and with many of those I'll bake just a couple of trays at a time, so we have a big assortment but not so many that they get stale. Not cookies, but we also do white chocolate dipped pretzels, and then add sprinkles to them.

I made some snickerdoodles Saturday morning to take to a get together we were invited to that evening. Other than that, none. I do have some dough I bought sitting in the fridge that I'll probably make Christmas Eve.

I'm not very good with cookie dough, and the family is just as happy w/ store purchased dough so I go that route!

A friend gifted us with a nice assortment! I didn’t make any.

This year we did pepperkaker, mini sugar cookies, chocolate pudding cookies (with mini marshmallows!), penuche fudge, christmas crack, reese's balls, and peppermint creams.

Oh and I also made a dairy free/vegan gingerbread/pumpkin cheesecake trifle. We haven't eaten that one yet, so I don't know how it's turned out.

That's quite an assortment! I didn't end up baking this year, but I do love to make shortbread four-ways. Basically you split the dough four ways and add whatever you want to it. Last year I made them with mini chocolate chips, with orange peel and cranberries, a chocolate version with chocolate dipped side, and a chocolate chili version. Shortbread is my go-to because it stays deliciously crumbly so you can bake it ahead of time, and it ships super well.

Ooooooh I LOVE shortbread. That chocolate chili version sounds amazing!

I love penuche, we make it as frosting for yellow cakes, it's my favorite! Never thought of doing it as fudge!

The shortbread 4 ways sounds great, that opens up so many possibilities. I love the cranberry orange combo this time of year. Orange-chocolate might be good too.

I've been thinking of doing a cherry cookie, not chocolate covered, but it's a cherry-almond. I might be the only one who would eat them though. I love the almond flavoring in things, but the kids aren't big fans.

It was a special request from Grandma. It's her favorite kind of fudge. It was so finnicky but absolutely worth it.

I'm absolutely going to need to try to make this frosting now, though...

I'm also a huge almond flavoring person. I grew up on Almond Flavoring in Spritz and have fond memories of the old cookie press squeezing them out every single Christmas. I always made them first once I moved out and I made tons (honestly thousands) of Pizzelles over the past years and some I do with Anise and some I do with Almond. With both, I do replace with a little Vanilla so nothing is too strong for anyone. (I have 3 Pizzelle makers.....two of which look like they've gone through a war and one a 1/2 a war I've used so often). I adore shortbread and my fave are Logs with choc/nuts dipped at the ends. For years I've kept the plain logs in my freezer and when needing them for gifts/contributions to functions etc, simply dip ends in Wilton melted chocolate disks from Michaels and chopped nuts. A hit every time.

I admit my cookie making has taken a huge downturn once I got problematic Rheumatatiod Arthritis problems with my legs.

I apologize I've taken over your gracious reply to someone's comments.
