Cookies for the holidays

I wasn't going to make cookies. I didn't do a lot last year because I was pregnant (just chocolate chips ones) but the year before I did every kind imaginable and enjoyed it. But it was a bigger kitchen and there were chairs, lol. We are in our own apartment this year and we don't have chairs for our kitchen table. My feet and back really start hurting after awhile. But I did go out and buy ingredients to make chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin and sugar. I also usually make kolacky (sounds like kolochky). My grandmother used to make them and my mom found a good recipe on the back of the Solo fruit filling. She always said they were hard to make. They aren't hard, just time consuming. 1 cup butter, softened 1 8oz package cream cheese, softened 1 Tbsp milk 1 Tbsp sugar 1 egg yolk 1 1/2 cups flour 1/2 tsp baking powder and the solo filling (one can will be enough for a batch but I like variety so I get different flavors and make more batches, lol). beat butter, cream cheese, milk and sugar until blended. beat in egg yolk. mix flour and baking powder and stir into batter. it makes it really stiff but then you also have to refrigerate the dough for at least an hour otherwise you can't work with it. once it is is cold and stiff divide it in quarters and work each. spread flour on the table and roll the dough to about a 1/4" thick. use a round cookie cutter (or a a 2" round glass works well) to cut as many circles as you can. Keep re-rolling until all the dough is used. place a tsp of filling in the center of each cookie and bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes. sprinkle with powdered sugar. they are really good. I always make at least 2 batches but they do take a little bit of time. The kids are old enough they can help me with cutting now so that should help.

This is a type of filled cookie called Maid-of -honour... it's my grandmother's treasured reciepe but here you go... Hope you'll like it... INGREDIENTS 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon white sugar 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup milk 2 tablespoons butter, softened 3/4 cup white sugar 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 2 eggs, beaten 2 tablespoons cream sherry 3/4 cup ground almonds 2 tablespoons fruit preserves, any flavor DIRECTIONS Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup flour and 1 tablespoon sugar. Cut in 1/4 cup butter until smaller than peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of milk at a time over the dough until moistened. Form dough into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 2 1/2 inch circles using a cookie or biscuit cutter. Press circles into the bottom and up the sides of ungreased mini muffin cups. set aside. In a medium bowl, cream together 2 tablespoons butter, 3/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon flour. Beat in the eggs and sherry, then stir in the ground almonds. Place 1/4 teaspoon of jam into the bottom of the lined cups. Cover with 1 tablespoon of the almond mixture. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are lightly browned. Allow to cool slightly before removing from muffin tins to cool on wire racks.

I'm making homemade chocolate chip cookies this year... I couldn't figure out what to get my friends and their families so someone gave me the idea to make cookies and that's what I've decided to do!

Sugar cookies, rice krispie bars, chocolate chip cookies are all favorites.

Sugar cookies

I make sugar cookie cut outs and monster cookies ( oatmeal, m &m's, chocolate chips). I also make peanut butter fudge.

I made chocolate chip cookies the other night. Today I made no bake cookies and cut out sugar cookies. I want to make some fudge and peanut brittle but dont know if I will get them done or not.

Hi! Every year I get together with my sisters in law, nieces, etc, and we all malke Christmas cookies together. Each person brings two recipes, and they're usually traditional ones we do every year. I always make my family tradition of peanut butter fudge, only I use half the sugar and at least twice the peanut butter, and use the healthy more 'natural' peanut butter. And so I got elected to also make the chocolate fudge... We make dough balls, thumbprints, pecan tassies, seven layer bars, and plain ones in christmas shapes for the kids to paint with frosting. We make up some plates for family members, take some home, and sometimes give some to charity if someone is ambitious enough, that is... It's a very fun day, but thank goodness Christmas cookies only comes once a year!

We make sugar cookies,chocolate chip,oatmeal raisin,pecan sandies,butterscotch haystack,strawberry thumbprints and christmas colored rice crispy treats. I can't wait. I bought sugar cookie decorations today!!!
