Christmas cookies are a BIG thing for me. I bake a ridiculous number of cookies this time of year, and I usually end up bringing 10 or so different kinds to family functions. I try to keep a good balance between the classics (gingerbread), the things I know my family loves (rosemary shortbread), and experiments. I also end up making a few presents as well, like black cake for my dad (although my mom usually gives a few away too) or various flavored liqueurs.
My list so far (although this will be whittled down at some point):
-Gingerbread
-Rosemary Shortbread
-Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
-Almond Macaroons (for my gluten-free peeps) (or maybe peanut butter cookies?)
-Baraze
-Buckeyes (how have I not written about these before?)
-some kind of biscotti
And recipes that Pinterest told me I should bake:
-Rolo-stuffed sugar cookies
-Christmas-y shortbread
-Coal lumps (but with Trader Joe's Candy Cane Joe-Joe's)
-Santa Party Mix
And I know it's still early for baking, but usually by this time, I have all my recipes in order and I've stocked up on necessities like butter, sugar, and flour. I'm falling behind this year!! That's where you come in - give me your favorite cookie recipes! I'm always looking for more, and I'm happy to give some new things a shot.

If you're making rolo-stuffed sugar cookies, my Christmas wish is to get on your cookie list.
You don't make Simit for the holidays? Or you don't count that as a cookie??
Love the snow effect on your tree cookies!
I might be able to arrange something, Adrienne...
Chris, I usually try to keep some simit in the freezer - I've just made a batch, so I don't have to worry about it this Christmas :)
