I am a picky cookie person and love these, because the frosting makes them softer.  I baked the cookies yesterday morning, frosted them last night, and tested one this morning, so yummy!

Sorry, can't give a recipe - it's called a Cattala, basically pastry dough thats rolled out and cut into very thin strips, rolled into a pinwheel shape, then fried in oil. Just before serving, you dip them in honey that's been heated and watered down a little with water. So addictive! I wanted to try them this year, but even to do the cut-down recipe requires two people and an entire day to make.

I also like the PB cookies with the hershey's kiss in it-yum!

Also homemade peppermint patties:

Ingredients

• 1 (14 ounce) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 1 tablespoon peppermint extract
• 6 cups powdered sugar, plus additional for kneading filling
• 1 1/2 pounds chocolate-flavored candy coating, melted
• Green or red food coloring (optional)

Directions

1. In large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract and food coloring (optional). Add 6 cups sugar; beat on low speed until smooth and well blended. Turn mixture onto surface sprinkled with powdered sugar. Knead lightly to form smooth ball. Shape into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on wax paper-lined baking sheets. Flatten each ball into a 1 1/2-inch patty.
2. Let dry 1 hour or longer; turn over and let dry at least 1 hour. With fork, dip each patty into warm candy coating (draw fork lightly across rim of pan to remove excess coating). Invert onto wax paper-lined baking sheets; let stand until firm. Store covered at room temperature or in refrigerator.

I love no bakes.  I don't know the recipe off the top of my head but I'll try to post it sometime.  And you can't go wrong with sugar cookie cut outs!

I make buckeyes every Christmas.

2 cups peanut butter

2 sticks softened butter

6 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp of vanilla

Mix well (with your hands works best)...then roll into small balls.  Chill in the refrigerator. 

In the meantime, using a double boiler, melt:

12 oz. chocolate chips

1/2 bar or so of paraffin wax

Use a toothpick to dip the chilled peanut butter balls into the chocolate, leaving a small circle of pb showing.  Transfer back to pan.  Use fingers to pinch toothpick hole closed, then chill again to harden chocolate.

Anything my Mom makes

My favorite are a recipe my mom makes from her grandmother. It's jelly roll type cookie. A cream cheese dough filled w/ jam. They are so good, but involved to make. I don't think she made them this year because she is short staffed at work and has been working long days/overtime.

I also love the peanut butter cookies w/ the Hershey's kiss and the spritz/press cookies. Oh, and Mexican wedding cakes that my godmother makes.
