Answer 1

This one is real simple and been around for a long time. I'm 55, when I was a kid, my mom used to make /Christmas cookies to sell so we had money for Christmas. These are great!

Mom’s Chocolate Cookies

3 Tbsp cocoa
1 stick butter/ margarine
2 cups sugar
½ cups milk

Boil for 3 mins., stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add:
½ cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups oatmeal, quick cook

Mix well & drop by teaspoon onto wax paper.

Answer 2

Biscochitos are my favorite cookie, holiday or otherwise. (Para los gringos: Biscochitos are an anise shortbread cookie popular in New Mexico)


Combine:
6 Cups All Purpose Flour
¼ tsp. Salt
3 tsp. Baking Powder and set aside.

In a Separate bowl cream together:
2 Cups Shortening
1 ¼ Cups Granulated Sugar
¼ Cup Packed Brown Sugar

Add:
2 Large Eggs , one at a time
2 tsp. Anise Extract
¼ tsp Rum Extract
1 Tbs. Water

Add the flour mixture and knead until completely mixed. This dough will be very dry. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll to 1 inch thick, cut into shapes and dust with cinnamon sugar. Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Answer 3

This is cheating, but buy some sugar cookies, and some chocolate chips. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave (try 1 min. to start, then stir and zap it for 10 seconds, repeat until melted and creamy). Dip the cookies in the chocolate.

If you want to go fancy, you can:

add peppermint extract to the chocolate

Crush some peppermint sticks, and dip the chocolate covered cookie in that.

Get some crushed nuts, and dip the cookie in that.

Sprinkle with those silver balls (dragees)

Have fun!
