Those things are addictive! They’re soft with raisins, walnuts, brown sugar, and raisin juice.

Sun Dec 8, 2024, 04:41 PM
Dec 2024

These buttery pecan cookies getting rolled in a generous coating of powdered sugar TWICE after baking, just to be sure they are coated in plenty of powdered sugar. The first roll sort of melts into the cookie, but that second roll builds up a good layer of powdered sugar that makes these extra delicious

16. Iced and dried fruit decorated Finnish Gingerbread.
Sun Dec 8, 2024, 05:10 PM
Dec 2024

The way my mom learned from her Aunts and Grandmother.
Slightly chewy under the icing, slightly crispy on the edges, lots of molasses and ginger paste in the dough, anise tea flavored black outlining icing, vanilla flavored white or colored royal icing, with bits of candied orange or lemon peel, dried currents, blueberries, cherries, or sultanas for decorative buttons, eyes, mouths, candle flames or holly berries depending on the cookie shape or "picture".
Or use the candied /dried fruits and peel for the cookies themselves.
Also, Swedish waffle iron "snowflake" wafer cookies (with or without the aniseed) dipped or glazed with cream caramel to sweeten them.

If we're talking seasonal cookies, I'd be all in on a sugar cookie with the cinnamon sugar sprinkled on.
If it's any type of cookie, those chocolate chunk with the little buts of toffee! I don't know if they gave their own special name.
If store bought, I'd be good with Milanos!

that he really likes oatmeal cookies with walnuts and raisins, though he won't turn his nose up at peanut butter cookies either (and he has particular fondness for Thin Mints, when available). The reindeer prefer carrots, thank you.

I'd want all 6 flavors of Moravian cookies.
If homemade; I'd want peanut butter cookies made with old style, hard to spread, peanut butter and not the creamy kind.

82. My own Spritz cookies, in assorted shapes.
Mon Dec 9, 2024, 02:24 AM
Dec 2024

I make many, many dozens every Christmas season, for family and neighbors. One batch goes to a young man who is a dear friend of both our sons - all 3 were soccer teammates in college. His mom also makes Spritz cookies, but he confided in me that he likes mine better, and pleaded with me not to ever tell her that. I assured him that, of course, I would never do that.

I like them ever-so-slightly underbaked so they are soft and chewy.

As they began to understand the big picture, they realized that "Santa" would probably prefer beer and peanuts over any cookie offering.
