aggieamy Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) I must be on a cooking streak because it seems like that's all my posts have been lately. Guess I'm hungry. What type of cookies are you making this year? Other baking? So far I'm planning: PB cookies with a reeces cup inside them Press cookies - red and green M&M cookies Laura Bush's Texas cookies Chocolate cake mix cookies with andes mint chips My great-aunt's fruit cake I'll also make those candy things where you take a pretzel, melt a rolo on it and then press a pecan on top. I love those. My grandmother and I used to make tons more cookies and candy but I don't think I've got it in me this year. So what are y'all making?

soonermomma Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 The only cookies I usually made at Christmas are Monster Cookies. I do make a ton of candy though. I will make my usual peanut brittle, peanut butter truffles, oreo truffles, chocolate covered pretzels, a couple different flavors of fudge, and tiger butter. I have already marked a few new ones on pinterest I plan to try as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khselee Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 We'll be making two kinds of fudge, spice cookies, press cookies, "pocket" cookies, rugelach, snickerdoodles, stained glass, and regular chocolate chip (our special recipe.).

Lily_Grace Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Dh and I make fudge. LOTS of fudge! Peanut-butter swirl, Kahlua, dark chocolate, mint...there will be about 8-10 different kinds when we're done. And by done, I mean wiped out, never wanting to look at another piece of chocolate as long as we live.:D Well, until next Nov/Dec. Half of it will get packed up to go downrange and the other half will be given to friends and coworkers here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbi in Texas Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 If I don't bring orange balls to dh's family dinner, I will be in trouble for sure. Other mainstays are Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake and a wassail type drink of some kind. Some years I work on the never ending saga of trying to find the perfect fruitcake. You didn't ask, but it isn't Thanksgiving without homemade Carrot Cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzimmer1 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Assuming I can muster the energy, my standards are mint chocolate ship cookies, monster cookies, sour cream cutout cookies (although I just bake them as drop cookies as spread some frosting on the bottoms, I hate decorating and the recipient doesn't like the decorations so it's better for both of us), chocolate covered cornflakes, fudge met a ways, chocolate crinkles, thumbprint cookies, soda cracker bars. When family gets together for Thanksgiving, I'll see if anyone has any other requests this year and add it to the list. No one in my extended family has time/inclination to bake much so part of the gifts we give every year is I bring bags full of cookies and bars. After opening presents, everyone outside of my kids/husband gets an empty bag and goes around and makes up their own "personalized" collection of cookies to take home with them.
