This thread has 31 postings (32 with mine) and only 6 recipes (6 1/2 if you count Lydia''s Ritz crackers and chocolate). Don''t you think we should all be getting out our recipe books? I know I have a recipe for creme de menthe brownies that look extraordinarily festive (with a green stripe between layers of chocolate) for the season and taste better than they have any right to! I just have to find it!

AGBF - my sister dips the crackers in melted mint chocolate chips and then cools them. They are like a mint cookie. She also made some mint creams dipped in chocolate but I don''t have the recipe for those. Those have a white creamy center and are like a mint patty. I believe those were dipped in regular chocolate chips. They are also very good. I bake many different kinds of cookies this time of year and will share some of my recipes when I dig them out. I made German Christmas stolen for the first time this year. It is a Christmas favorite that my mother-in-law makes yearly and that was fun to make but was an all day job.

This is one of those embarrassingly easy crowd pleasing recipes that no gourmet cook would ever use, the kind that produces food everyone loves and asks for year after year 
. And this one doesn't even have Cool Whip! I made it for Christmas with my extended family for years because it was red, and when I stopped out of boredom, I was hounded to recommence!
1 can cherry pie filling
(I use 1/2 can pie filling and 1 can tart cherries instead)
Spread in greased 9 x 9 pan
1/2 box cake mix (yellow or white)
Sprinkle over cherries
1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
and
1/2 cup water poured over cake mix
1/2-1 cup chopped nuts sprinkled over top
Bake at 400 degrees for 1/2 hour
Can be served with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Since I use 1/2 can pie filling for a cake, I always make two. Two are always eaten!

These can really be considered Christmas cookies. That cherry cobbler recipe above was a faux pas! I forgot that this thread was only for Christmas cookie recipes. Sorry! I also found an old recipe that I had for a certain pie...and I was going to post it for Mara. I think I'll have to start a thread of its own for it!

Shape into 1 in. balls, place 2 in. apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 325 for 8-10 min. Cool 1 min. then transfer to wire rack.
Frosting

Ellen,
do you mind explaining the taste of those cookies? Are they soft? I want to make the melt away ones for sure; both sound good but the chocolate always wins. hehee Thanks for posting them!
I forgot to explain biscocitos. They taste sugar cookies but w/anise and a little more crumbley (sp?) and rich. My in laws love them w/their coffee.

OK...so why do we all do this to ourselves? Why do the women's magazines all have diets AND recipes for chocolate cake? Why do we post heavenly recipes that we also mean to bake when we want to lose weight? Are we all crazy?

Peanut Butter Blossoms
½ c margarine or butter
½ c sugar
½ c brown sugar (packed)
1 egg
2 T milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 ¾ c flour
1 t soda
½ t salt
Chocolate candy (kisses or Dove promises)
Shallow bowl with sugar
Cream together margarine with sugars. Add egg, milk and vanilla and stir well. Add dry ingredients. Chill dough for at least an hour. Shape dough in to balls about the size of a walnut. Roll in a dish of sugar. Bake at 375 until golden brown. While still on cookie sheet place a piece of chocolate candy in the center and press lightly in to the cookie. The recipe calls for kisses; but I use Dove promises because I like them better and can make both dark and milk chocolate cookies. Makes about 48 cookies.

2 ½ c flour
1 tsp salt
½ tsp red food coloring
Optional toppings

Mix butter, sugar, egg and flavorings thoroughly. Stir in dry ingredients. Divide dough in ½ and blend the red food coloring into one half.
Roll 4” strips (using about 1 tsp dough) from each color. For smooth strips, roll them back and forth on a lightly floured board. Place strips side by side, press together and twist them like a rope. For best results complete cookies one at a time. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and curve the top of the strip down to form the handle of the cane.

Ask someone who used to weigh 320 pounds for cookie recipes; and you are going to get a few. Ha Ha.
These are yummy and soft cookies. My DH old boss used to request these even after my husband no longer worked there. We''ll see her in a store and she''ll ask me if I still make these cookies.
Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies
1 1/2 c sugar
1 c butter
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 c sour cream
4 1/4 c flour
1 tsp soda
1 tsp baking powder
Cream together sugar, butter, eggs, salt and vanilla. Add sour cream and mix well. Stir in dry ingredients. You may need to add a little more flour to make a stiff dough. Chill dough for at least an hour. Roll out dough on a floured cutting board. We like thick, soft cookies so my dough is about 1/3 inch when I roll it out. If you like thin, crisp cookies roll the dough thinner. Sprinkle with colored sugar before baking (if desired). Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes (or until lightly golden browned).
