Have we talked about this yet?  I am finding new ways to procrastinate at work and am making a list of Christmas cookies to make.  So share your favorite Christmas cookies!  Bonus points for recipes.

Here's what I'm planning to make:

- Chocolate crackle cookies (made some this weekend)  

- Date balls

- Caramel stuffed apple cider cookies

- Peanut butter blossoms

    Thanks for starting this thread, I love collecting baking recipes. Pre-baby I baked a ton.

    Mexican hot chocolate cookies are always a hit - spicy and sweet. These are more for adults than wee ones. https://www.marthastewart.com/336516/mexican-hot-chocolate-cookies

    These are the best brownies and you only need a small piece!

    This is the first year I will be making cookies, about when do you start in relation to Xmas? Don't what stale cookies. One that I'm going to try this year are Oreo balls.

    Just grab a package of Oreo cookies smashed, mixed with one 8oz package of cream cheese. Made into balls then covered in chocolate.

    I want to say that my coworker made them with bark or birch bark? Is that like a chocolate? I'm going to make some white chocolate, milk chocolate with drizzle over them.

    @augustusgoose - I usually start about a week or so before Christmas.  I know this sounds weird but if you put a slice or two of bread in the container with the cookies it keeps the cookies from getting stale.  So weird but it works!

    OK, these aren't cookies but I made them last night for my coworkers and they turned out great. Plus, it's a crockpot recipe so I basically threw some stuff together and walked away. I doubled the recipe and made 20 small bags for everyone. About $40 total in supplies made it very cost effective for all the people I had to make them for!

    I usually do gingerbread cookies, sometimes sugar cookies, and I make my mom's peanut butter ball recipe (most amazing thing ever!).

    I made molasses crinkle cookies last week (I get the recipe off of the Grandma's Molasses jar) & for Christmas Day, I'm going to make chocolate chip Russian tea cookies (I don't have the recipe, it's on Pinterest..) I don't know if they're "holiday-ish" but I think DH will like them.

    I do a lot of cookie baking every year.  I make tins and bring them as house gifts to everyone.

    I usually do a few different kinds of biscotti, sesame, Anise, and then the big finish, 7-layer/rainbow cookies (these: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rainbow-cookies-recipe.html)

    I make homemade torrone, too - not a cookie, but delicious!

    My mom and sister are supposed to come over and "help" Friday night.  My sister will help, my mother will play with the baby.  I should make a shopping list at some point.
