Cookies or candy

[iwishiwasthere]

I have spent the last 2 days baking cookies to give as gifts. My idea was the 12 days of cookies...a different one for each of 12 days.( I really love baking) Well, the pralines were a diaster, so it is changed to 11 days of CHristmas...it has a quirky ring to it .

That being said my question is "What is cookie or candy must you have during this season?" I love these chocolate brownie cookies I made but made a new lemon cookie that may be the winner..not too sweet. My mother's divinytis the best, but I have no self control when it is around so I pass on it.

Funny that you're talking about cookies, because college exam time is right around now, and my son put in a request for snickerdoodles. I'll be sending him some this week to get him through a tough time. ;-)

I'm not a very good baker so this is a labor of love for me.

pecan balls, lifelikes (like a sugar cookie w/ frosting) mission bells (these have red wine in them).....yummy!!!! I am baking today, and of course the all time fav in my house is choc. chip

I bake choc. chip cookies, but not your average, Tollhouse recipe. My recipe has rolled oats, crushed corn flakes, 2 sticks of butter, 1 cup of oil, chopped pecans, choc. chips. Whenever anybody eats them, they say they are the best they've ever tasted! My son had a group ot teens over last night, and they all came to me to tell me they were the best ever!! They're VERY rich and crispy.

I also like divinity and pralines. No one eats (or makes) those in this area where we live.

Yes my daughter's exam begins on Friday which is why I rushed to get all the baking done this weekend. Made snickerdoodles for the other girl child. It was the first time and I was surprised how easy they were. My dough must have not had enough flour because they were really sticky to roll. Loved licking the fingers.

My son loves snickerdoodles because he learned how to make them in his sophomore home ec class in high school. I use his recipe and it makes me all sentimental because it's in his messy handwriting with all the cookie dough smudges all over it.

I'd love some rum balls right now, yummmmm yummmmmm!

Snickerdoodles, buckeyes, sugar cookies, pizelles. I may try rum balls this year as well.

Aren't rum balls those round, chewy (even yucky) things? Maybe I've never had a good one before!!!!
