I finished most of my christmas cards and holiday baking today.
Was just curious....What is YOUR favorite holiday cookie?

Hmmm... does "all of them" count http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif
j/k - I really love Snickerdoodles!

Peanut Blossums made with Bisquick!! Always "hide" a few in the freezer...

I Love Sugar cookies with whiteFrosting!

I still have to make peanut butter blossoms after I get the kisses.
Never made them with bisquick - sounds interesting!

I LOVE kolachkies (sp?) and thumbprints.

I hate to admit this - but we had mostly cookies for dinner tonight!
5 inches of snow and a 4 hour commute for my husband (normally 1 hour).
We decided to just have fun instead and enjoy the night.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

This is more of a candy. It's best to hide a few for yourself as they go fast!


Peanut Butter Bars

<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
2 cups chocolate chips - melted
1 cup peanut butter
1 stick butter
1 ½ cups brown sugar
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp Watkins DS vanilla

Cream peanut butter &amp; butter together. Add vanilla. Alternating, blend in brown sugar and powdered sugar. It should be a semi crumbly consistency. Press firmly into pan (approx 8 x 13). Pour melted chocolate over top and spread to edges. Let set up for a couple minutes, then cut into squares. Refrigerate for 1 hour. You may need to re cut squares along scored lines.

We have 2 family favorites:

Grammie R's Scotchbread Cookies
Peanut Butter Cookies

If I don't make anything else, everyone is happy!

How do you make peanut blossoms with bisquick.
I love Hello Dollies, they are a bar , not a cookie!

I love my mother-in-law's sugar cookie recipe with some fluffy frosting and all the sprinkles my kids can fit on them! By the time they are done, you can barely tell there is frosting underneath. Peanut Blossoms are a very close second though. That reminds me - I haven't made them yet! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

I have a VERY sweet tooth, so I like 'em all! But my all time favorite would have to be sugar cookies - with or without icing!

Merry Christmas,
Christi

Heres the Peanut Blossoms with bisquick:
2 cups Bisquick
1 can sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cups Peanut Butter
1 teas. Vanilla

Mix &amp; refridge to cool (about 10 minutes).

Roll in balls &amp; sugar and bake.
Bake 8-10 min. (I usually do mine for about 12 min on a PC stone)
Add kiss and done.
---I also cool my stone off in between batches (I alternate between two stones.
Makes about 4 dozen.
Receipe from my friend Shiela K.

THANKS FOR THE RECIPES!



I have always had a sweet tooth.
I can already tell that I am going to have a hard time getting into my bikini for Floriday and Hawaii in January.I am very excited about these trips - but hard coming off of my favorite baking season. Thank god for freezers! Ithink I would eat them all.
I may make both the blossoms and the PB bars from above. I was going to make a PB bon bons that use rice krispies but may opt to do the above instead.

Cheers!

Snickerdoodles are my fave, too!!

Shortbread ..... hands down!!!! My grandma is from Scotland and has an "old family recipe"!! lol

Oatmeal cookies are my favorite all year long...Kinda borning, I know, but I can't help it! Peanut butter is 2nd.

I love pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

Iwill be making them soon :)

Maria

I like those italian cookies with the different color stripes and then the others that are round with hard colorful sprinkles on top! I just can't remember the names. Biscotti and florentine cookies (I just saw the recipes on the food network and they seem like they would taste divine) and those almond cookies with powdered sugar on top. I can't stop eating those once I get started. Edited by: cloud9
