2018 Christmas Cookie Recipes
#31
When each of my military kids were deployed, I sent dozens of cookies overseas and especially at Christmas. I still like to bake, but do not make as many as back then. Two that are our favorites as well as sugar cookies, and spritz are the following recipes:

Here is another one. I love Snickerdoodles. I do not love how they "dry" out so fast. The following recipe does not last long enough to dry out. The pumpkin is very subtle but I love these and have had other people say how good they are.
PumpkinDoodles
Ingredients:
2. Add in the egg and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, with a fork, mix the cream of tartar, baking soda, saltand flour.
4. Slowly add it into the batter, you will have a sticky light orange coloredbatter.
5. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for an hour. If you arepressed for time, place it in the freezer for 15 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
7. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
8. In a small bowl, mix the 1/2 cup sugar with the cinnamon.
9. Using a small spoon, scoop up a spoonful of batter. Roll it into a ballbetween your hands.
10. Roll the ball in the cinnamon/sugar mixture and place on the preparedcookie sheets, 2 inches apart.
11. Bake 12-15 minutes.
TIP:
I substitute 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder for the cream of tartar and baking soda.
I left the cookie dough in the fridge for a day before I got around to bakingthem.

What a great thread! Thanks for starting it.
One of my very favorite cookies to make are in the Betty Crocker cookbook- sugar cookies. They are so easy and we make cut-outs every year. My DIL and I never miss out on this. I make others but never omit these. Everyone loves them.

Those Santa's Trash Cookies sound really good, Christine. I am going to have to try them. We don't make as many as we used to, since everyone is trying to lose weight. But I still like to discover new and tasty recipes. I'll see if I can find something different to add to the discussion.

Oh yeah. It's that time of year again. I also bake plenty. I have made as many as 13 varieties. Two of my favorites are spritz and date bars. I have a very old recipe book from the Milwaukee, wi power company that had some fantastic recipes. They are now online but I have not checked it out yet

I've been enjoying this thread -- even though I can't eat cookies any more I do enjoy baking but I don't think I'm completely safe from "testing" the results so will not be doing any this year.
