Martha Stewart’s Icebox Chocolate Pepper cookies

Yum! OP here. So many good ideas we’ve never heard of. These all sound delicious.

Curious..what is a Santa’s whisper?

Sorry, should say Santa's Whiskers - has cherries, pecans and coconut

Divinity. It is that nougat stuff that has candied fruit or nuts in it. Tricky to make but so good

My favorites are chocolate drop and sugar cookies. My kids love snickerdoodles.

I love:

- pecan meltaways with powdered sugar
- peanut butter cookies with the chocolate kisses in the middle
- linzer cookies with jam or thumbprint cookies with jam
- orange cranberry cookies (King Arthur flour recipe)

I don't have the specific recipe, but we made a version of peppermint patties in a silicone mold (snowmen).

Also, Gourmet magazine used to have a cookie edition every so often.

7 layer (Magic) bars. So easy to make. So delicious to eat.

My family always makes anginetti cookies for Christmas. It’s an Italian cookie and delicious. Kids especially love them. Lots of recipes online.

Almond Roca (not a cookie, but works well on a cookie plate)

Cranberry Noels

DD and I are going to bake 12 different cookie recipes between December 1st and Christmas. We already have my grandma’s gingerbread recipe but are looking for some inspiration. What is your favorite Christmas cookie/recipe?
