I make probably 10 different kinds every year and give them away as gifts, and I am trying to decide what kinds to make this year. What are your favorites? Not every day cookies like chocolate chip or oatmeal. Thanks for your answers!

I love PFEFFERNUSSE ("Peppernuts" in German) that actually calls for the use of ground black pepper. They are truly a "labor of love" and the ones that the grocery store sells around Christmas are great. I especially like the ones that have a hard white shell on them.
Of course, Scottish shortbread is traditional and delicious. If you make it NOW and pack it away in a metal cookie cannister, it'll be "just right" for Christmas. Lots of butter based cookies like a ripening time of several weeks.
Miniature fruit cake gems (made in tiny little cupcake liners) are great and need time to ripen, also.
Have fun! Jingle bells, jingle bells...cookies on the way!!

Hi There,
I would say Gingerbread Man cookies, and Short bread are awesome and delicious for the Christmas Spirit, not just children but for the big kids too ( sure u know what I mean)

I like to make pizzelles (Italian waffle cookie) and rosettes (fried iron cookie). They are both painstaking to make, however they are the rare treat in the house. I make them only for my family.
I also like to make raspberry crumb bars with mini chocolate chips on top. And banana and chocolate chip bars.

I love oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookies, with some butterscotch chips added in too. Sand tarts are good too. Bourbon balls, rum balls are always Christmassy.

Easiest, buy the white chocolate that you can melt in microwave, spoon onto cookie sheet top with mixed fruits and nuts, pecans, almonds, apricots, raisin's, red and green candied cherries and pecans sure beat fruit cake. chill in fridge and they come out looking cookie like.
