What are you making for your cookie exchange/holiday party?

I made chocolate peanut butter bars last year and they were a big hit [http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/chocolate-peanut-butter-bars-iv/Detail.aspx] but am looking for something else this year. Inspire me!

Last year I made peanut butter cookies with a hershey kiss in the middle. I know, so pedestrian. But I'm not a good baker. This year, I saw these cute sandwich cookies - chocolate drop on the outside, vanilla frosting then rolled in chopped up peppermint candies. I don't think I can eek out the time for them though. But, I'm hoping someone has some inspiration for something I can make in an evening.

I made these
http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Trios-240930

came out really good and looked pretty, if you want to save assembly time make them individual cookies.


A girl at my exchange made the cranberry amd pistachio mexican wedding cookies also from the epicurious 25 days of cookies, they were really good as well

Almond Spritz cookies from Cooks Illustrated. I can fit two dozen on a cookie sheet so it's pretty quick. Not the most exciting contribution, but with a 8 week old and a 20 month old that's about all I can manage these days.

I just made 10 different kinds of cookies as part of a psychotic annual tradition I started about 8 years ago. Hits this year (based on consumer feedback): pistachio lime cookies (I think Rachel Ray has one but I got mine from BH&G), coconut candy bars (Coconut candy bars: http://www.bhg.com/recipe/cookies/coconut-candy-bars/) and peppermint bark that I bagged individually.

Gingerbread. I roll them out extra-thick so they are nice and soft. I make little trees and put a bit of green buttercream frosting on them like garland.

I made chocolate chip - from the Cook's Illustrated recipe. Gone first! I say go classic (like the pb w/ kiss) or go new & different (those exotic cranberry types the earlier posters mentioned). Someone at our cookies exchange made these chocolate brownies w/ peppermint frosting drizzles - wow. That says holiday to me.
