[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only make four kinds but I think it's a great mix:

Peanut butter/hershey's kiss
Molasses Spice
Spritz with red and green sprinkles
Peppermint shortbread with royal icing

The peanut butter kiss cookies satisfy chocolate cravings, the molasses spice feel seasonally appropriate, the spritz are small and buttery so it's a perfect small bite treat, and the peppermint shortbread are the prettiest and go great with hot cocoa.[/quote]

You're right - that sounds like a fantastic platter! What's your peppermint shortbread recipe? [/quote]

I use the holiday cookie recipe from America's test kitchen and add peppermint to the dough and the icing.

Though this year the NYT did a peppermint shortbread recipe so I might try that next time I make them. It's pretty similar though -- shortbread is pretty basic. The trick is more with the icing, balancing the extract so you still get the right consistency for decorating (don't want to thin it out too much). [/quote]
