These sound a little strange but are so good! Very easy to make too. I sub M&Ms for the peanuts.

I'm always excited to get rum balls or buckeyes or something to round out a cookie tray. Those haystacks sound good.
I'm least excited to get those peanut butter cookies with the hershey kiss. Boring and lacking in quality. I like to make iced gingerbread cutouts but they are hugely labor intensive so I understand those may not be on anyone else's list! |

Double chocolate peppermint crunch cookies:
https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/double-chocolate-peppermint-crunch-cookies-362593 They're a tiny bit laborious, but they're delicious and a nice change of pace for the holidays. |

My absolute favorites are christmas sugar cookies (cut-outs) with icing. I also love spritz and peanut butter balls although one could argue peanut buttter balls are not a cookie, but they are insanely delicious, especially the ones made with Rice Krispies.
I know you didn't ask, but snickerdoodles rank high up on my list of least favorites. |

Aren't you bothered by your circle's possibly less-than-hygienic practices? Cookie exchanges don't sit quite right with me. |
| When I was growing up, my mother was not a baker so I got tasked with baking the Christmas cookies. I would do Mexican teacakes, thumbprint cookies, shortbread candy canes, cutout sugar cookies and the now-ubiquitous peanut butter-Hershey's kiss cookies (they were not that common 40 years ago). I still think of these all as Christmas cookies. |
| The cookies with a Hershey kiss in the center I don't know the name of them! |
Jesus Christ its not like they stick their hand in a cookie jar and rub each cookie. It's set up like a cookie buffet, there are tongs to pick,up cookies and containers to brinf them home |
Please don't come to one if invited. We don't want you |

My go-tos are jam-and-coconut thumbprints, Earl Grey shortbread, and decorated sugar cookies.
Please, don’t bring chocolate chip cookies! |
You could pretty much say that about any home-cooked food, or even prepared food served at someone's house. Not to mention restaurants where a number of people prep, cook, handle serveware, silverware, and plates. |
