Cookie time

We're doing a cookie exchange at work, and I'm trying to decide what to make. Any ideas?  What are your holiday favorites?

... I'm thinking about making these PB & J cookies I made last year, but I want another kind too.

you really just can't go wrong with frosted sugar cookies.    yum.

I love these! And they taste so much better than standard sugar cookies.

Cream Cheese Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

1 3-oz pkg cream cheese, softened

1 cup sugar

2 egg yolks

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

 

Cream together butter and cream cheese, using an electric mixture; add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add egg yolks and vanilla. Add flour, stirring, 1/2 cup at a time. Chill dough for 30 mins. Preheat oven to 350 and grease one or more cookie sheets.  Roll dough out to 1/4" thick & cut with cookie cutters. Place cookies on a cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool and serve.

Yields about 4 dozen cookies.

I love hershey's kisses thumbprint ones'(dont know the real name) but they are fabulous.  You put a kiss that sits right in the middle of the cookie!  YUM!

I make the best chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate almond macaroons are always a big hit, too. Unique and delicious!

Littlemo

Definitely those cookies with the Hershey Kiss on top

I love these ideas!  Keep 'em coming.

I make a coconut macaroon from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. They are pretty easy and impressive to people who don't know how easy they are. You make em with egg whiles, coconut and sugar.

I bought a carton of egg whites so I figure that'll make it even easier.

These aren't really cookies but they are so good!  A co-worker made them last year and everyone raved about them.  I made a bunch last night to give away (except I'm eating one right now...).  We call them "oreo truffles"

 -one package of oreo cookies

-8 oz of softned cream cheese

Pulverize the oreos in a blender or food processor and combine with the cream cheese.  Roll into small balls and dip in white chocolate.  Let the chocolate harden and woila!  Perfection!
