Nothing beats classic Christmas cut out sugar cookies and yours looks amazing. I love making these with my kids. No matter how old they get it’s still something we do together.
I love Christmas cutout cookies but there are so many other good ones. I love spritz cookies or even just almond bark pretzels. My sisters and I get together every Christmas season and make thousands of cookies to give away. One of my favorite parts of the holiday season.
I love banana pudding and sweet potato pie. Thanks for the chance.
So my family makes a “Mock Baby Ruth Bars” and this is my fav. it is an oatmeal and karo syrup bottom, and a choc chip and peanut butter “frosting” on top………so good
Your cookies look wonderful! I would love the recipe!
I love to make Christmas candy. Peanut butter fudge, chocolate pecan fudge, carmels, chocolate covered peanuts, rolo pretzels
I love peanut butter blossoms.
Your cookies look yummy! I make a variety of cookies and candies but I love a peanut butter ball
Struffoli! I LOVE those honey balls!!!
Sugar Cookies
Snickerdoodle cookies
I love to make chocolate and peppermint whoopie pies, peanut butter no bake cookies
Baker’s Square Christmas candy cane pie. Frickin delicious!
Sugar cookies
Cookies are good but my fave is Pecan Pie!
Pumpkin pie! Also those chocolate cookies with the powdered sugar on top. No clue what they are called, but they are delicious.
Christmas crack and my mom’s recipe for fudge.
Good Morning – For me, it is cheesecake. Gosh, it’s always cheesecake 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely love cutout cookies! I also enjoy molasses cookies and peanut butter balls aka buckeyes!
Gingerbread
I don’t have a favourite. I can’t bake and that’s a good thing because I’m addicted to sugar and would never stop lol. Your cookies look good! I need to find someone to buy from. They’re cute. I don’t go by looks as long as they taste good anyway. They could be any kind of weird shape and I’d happily buy them all 😅
Roasted fresh chestnuts, they taste like candy and we can only get them this time of year!!!
My favorite dessert is pumpkin pie with a lot of ready whip. My favorite Christmas cookie is the sugar cookies that my daughter and MIL make, they put cinnamon chips on top with sprinkles and I love cinnamon
Lemon meringue pie 💛
I love sugar cookies but not the frosted topping ones just the cinnamon ones. They are so hard to find right now. I might have to try to make some this year.
My grannies & moms ginger snaps -that I now make
I love sugar cookies if they have the thick fluffy icing. I could eat those all day long. Yum!!!
Otherwise anything chocolate.
Gingerbread cookies!
My favorite Christmas cookies are the sugar cookies are a recipe from my great grandmother. There’s nutmeg in this old recipe. It’s a tough recipe to use. Finding just the right amount of flour while rolling them out is the key to a great tasting cookie.
My absolute favorite is home fudge that my dad makes!! A close second is thumbprint cookies we make for Santa every year! I love baking!
Crescent shaped Mexican wedding cookies! Costco is selling a variation of it made by David’s, and I’m trying to exercise some control that I don’t finish the entire canister myself!
My favorite cookie is a rainbow cookie and my favorite cake is turtle cheesecake my aunt makes. Merry Christmas 🎄
Peanut butter fudge.
I love the peanut butter with the chocolate kiss in the center
Chocolate chip cookies and also cheesecake
Choco-Mint Snowflakes are my favorite. 🙂 Thanks for the chance!
Pumpkin pie. Well, no. The whipped cream / cool whip. Between November and January is the only time you can buy whipped cream and chocolate syrup by themselves and not get the wink wink looks. 🤩
Peanut Butter Fudge. My grandpa would make peanut butter fudge for everybody for Christmas. It was so smooth and creamy. His daughters have carried on that tradition since he passed. It brings about great memories every year.
Thimble or thumbprint cookies. So easy, can double and triple batches and the make a bunch of cookies quickly. They’re also delicious.
My favorite Christmas cookie is peanut butter! I roll the dough into balls and let them bake like that. they stay thick and chewy!
Sugar cookies
Peanut brittle…
I always make chocolate chip cookies for Santa. Thanks for the chance!
I love making pumpkin rolls this time of year, they are the best!
Snickerdoodles
I make either a Jamaican Spiced Rum Cake or a Tres Leches cake. 😁 Those are my favorites. I don’t like pie.
Mine is gingerbread cookies or sugar cookies! But I love all treats and food during the holidays. No restrictions 🤣
I love sugar cookie cutouts
Hazelnut Tea Cookies or Christmas Crack
Seven layer bars… or are they called better than sex bars. If that’s what they are, apparently the person who named them haven’t had good sex.
I love fudge. I only eat t at the Christmas holidays because I’m addicted to it. Lol. Merry Christmas
I love those peanut butter cookies with the chocolate kiss in the center. Can’t remember the name!
Pecan balls. A recipe my mother got from my grandma.
Hi – Your Christmas cut out cookies look delicious. One of my favorite holiday desserts is sugar cookies with hot chocolate – yummy! 😊
Peanut butter balls for sure! Also this book is amazing!!!!
I love mocha crinkle cookies ❤️
We love walnut filled polish Kifli! I can eat so so many of them and feel no regrets lol!
In PA where I’m from we have a lot of Amish and PA Dutch (deutsch) and one of our most well loved cookies is a soft sugar cookie.So freaking delicious. Fluffy pieces of happiness.
Mine is the very one you have pictured! I love a frosted Christmas cookie! So yum! Thanks for the chance 🎅🏻
We always had German Chocolate Cake or Pecan Pie
Cheesecake 😍
That’s a tough one because I love ALL desserts!!! But I still stick by peanut butter kisses.
Anything peppermint flavored!
I love spiced cookies. They are my special treat for winter in general. I also love hot cocoa. I feel like nothing gets you in the spirit like holding a cup of hot cocoa.
Gingerbreads but those are fluffy here… we make them little different
I love snickerdoodle cookies with Hershey kisses in the middle.
Peanut butter blossom cookies
I found a lady over here whose business is Cookie Doodle Doo. Got some for all my family last year and they were amazing ❤️
We always had German Chocolate Cake or Pecan Pie
I love frosted sugar cookies.
Chocolate fudge using the Kraft Fantasy Fudge recipe and Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips. So good!
Rosette’s
Every Christmas my daughter and my mother in law make Italian cookies, it’s a tradition I love so much!
Love decorated Christmas cookies. But for dinner I love chocolate pecan pie with whipped cream. And sometimes my mom would make a rum cake. Yum 🤤
I don’t bake but I love making reindeer crack during the holidays. AND eating it which is why I don’t make it lol
Whoopie Pies are my favorite! They use to be only a Christmas treat until I got the family recipe handed down. Now it’s a whenever I want to
Definitely Scottish Shortbread. It’s slightly sweet, not frosted or rolled into shapes. It’s pressed into a pan and cut into squares. Sometimes it becomes breakfast because I wake up thinking of it when it’s in the fridge.
Strawberry kolaczki
Italian Ricotta cookies….sooo yummy and these butter/walnut cookies my mom used to call “turds” b/c of their shape. 🙂
My mom makes these spritz cookies from some recipe she found 50 years ago. THE BEST spritz cookies. She tried a different recipe one year, the cookies were aaaawful. I took the whole 3 dozen batch to work and let my coworkers eat all the second rate cookies.
Every Christmas my must have is mince pies due to my husband being born in England.
Thank you for this fabulous chance
While at Costco recently, we impulse bought a tin of David’s Cookies – Butter Pecan Meltaways and these cookies are like crack! We grew up calling them Pecan Snowball cookies. They are so dangerous!
Soft Gingerbread men cookies are my fave during the holidays!
All of them. If there’s cookies I’m eating them lol. I don’t like coffee flavor but the rest are fair game. Thanks for the chances on your giveaways
My favorite holiday treat is the peppermint hot chocolate me and my kids would make on Christmas eve.
my favorite holiday treats are the Italian cookies my father-in-law makes with my daughter
I like cut out cookies too. More the decorating, because it makes me nostalgic for when my mom and I baked them.
Hot cocoa cookies and peanut butter candy and peppermint bark!
Warm chewy molasses cookies rolled in “fancy” red or Green holiday sugar because I’m fancy like that. 😉
Hmmm tricky to pick just one …sooo I’m a bit of a European mongrel so the English in me loves Apple Crumble and Custard, the French in me loves a Buche de Noel and the German bit loves lebkuchen! I think the Swedish and Greek parts in me just love eating! X
Christmas crack
I love Snicker Doodles, my late step mom taught me how to make them. We used to make them every year.
My favorite is any Italian Pastry,
Especially a Cannoli
Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without my mom’s Christmas Pudding & Christmas Fruit Cake!
Bourbon Balls
I make peppermint merengues that are pretty good. But, anything gingerbread is great
I love orange chocolate. The one that’s shaped like an orange and you smack it on the table and the orange pieces separate. Yum!
My family calls them Grandma’s Dunkers, and I don’t remember my Grandma ever telling us different. Not the easiest cookie to mix, but once that part is done they are slice and bake. A great cookie with coffee.
Christmas fudge. The best!
Peanut Blossoms rolled in nuts and topped with a dark candy kiss.
I love peppermint bark cookies!
I love gingerbread and I can’t seem to have the wherewithal to make them till Christmas. But I guess that just makes them better.
I love sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies. 🤤🤤🤤
The only must have is spritz cookies. Bonus items include sugar cookies (not the pre packaged ones, the nice and crumbly melt in your mouth kind.)
Cheesecake always Cheesecake
I love cutout sugar cookies with icing and sprinkles!
Sugar Cookies!!
My mom’s peanut butter buckeyes are my favorite!!
Chocolate chip cookies and cheesecake!
Gingerbread cookies, but I also love cutout sugar cookies. I don’t suppose you’d be willing to share your great aunt’s recipe?
I love these almond finger cookie things my mom used to make. But my favorite is chocolate covered peanut butter balls. Yum! No self control with those around.
Love sugar cookies but my favorite are the mini pecan cookie bites and peanut butter cookies my grandma taught me to make!
I like gingerbread cookies.
I love pumpkin pie bars, a shortbread crust with layer of pumpkin pie. The problem is my daughter is not a fan. Our new tradition is cheesecake. For Thanksgiving we had strawberry crumble cheesecake.
My fave dessert for Christmas is cinnamon swirl apple pie! It’s soooo yummy! ❤️
I am a huge fan of gingerbread, be it cookies or cake.
Favorite holiday dessert is pecan pie with fresh whipped cream.
Peanut butter blossoms 😋
Peanut Butter blossoms is my favorite cookie of anytime holiday or otherwise. But for the holidays I love Apple Pie.
Gingerbread Cookies and Peanut Clusters.
I love candy cane cookies, my Mom’s walnut roca, rugelach, my grandma’s sugar cookies and my bff’s shortbread. Yummy! 🍪
I don’t have just one favorite X-mas cookie. 😂 I love thumbprints, those snowball cookies–I can’t remember the name of them–, chocolate crinkles, gingerbread man, shortbread, and anything that is peanut butter.
Buckeyes! Nothing like the chocolate and peanut butter together.
Cheesecake for sure my favourite
I love Christmas cookies. All of them. But my favorites are crinkle cookies. It’s a tie between lemon crinkle and chocolate crinkle. Lock me up with a book, hot tea, and these cookies and I’d be a happy girl. 😊
Spritz cookies. Buttery goodness, easy, and pretty, too!
Hi, I’m so obsessed with all of your books. I want all of them! My favorite Christmas cookie has to be soft chewy sinker-doodles!
It is not a cookie, but it’s a very traditional cake during Christmas season in Chile, it’s called “Pan de Pascua” flavored with rum (or pisco, Chileno of course) filled with dried fruits and nuts. Usually it is served with another very traditional breveage, called “Cola de mono”, it contains mainly aguardiente, milk, sugar, coffee, and cloves. I already had some Pan de Pascua because is so yummy.
Frosted sugar cookies and peanut butter balls (some call them buckeyes)
Being British I love homemade Christmas pudding and gingerbread cookies decorated by my daughter and grandson
Your basic frosted sugar cookies for the win!
Gingerbread cookies!!! Oh and those European shortbread cookies, mmmm those are to die for!!!
My favorite cookies are vanilla pizzelles. The best part is making them with my mom.
We make homemade heath bars every year that we all LOVE. I can’t wait!
I love Christmas cutout sugar cookies or anything with peppermint! Tis the season!
Molasses Cookies, It was tradition to make them every year with my dad. I have so many fond memories of making them with him & my brother & sisters.
Molasses sugar cookies are my absolute favorite!
Chocolate Crinkle cookies
Loving Dark Men is my everything! But my favorite Christmas dessert is Christmas crack – chocolate, peanut butter, and peanuts in the crock pot. It’s so rich, you can’t eat much at once, but my favorite part is that my girls looooove it so when they come for Christmas, it must be on the table!
My husband says its not really a holiday treat but i beg to differ Thanksgiving and christmas is the only time we have PB fudge therefore its mt favorite Holiday treat
I love sugar cookies, I make them with my son (he’s 17 and still loves to help me bake)! You’re cookies look yummy! 😋
My Irish Momma’s Italian cookies yummmmm
Snickerdoodle or gingerbread with icing of course
We make sugar cookies that the kids decorate. They look forward to doing it and having fun. My favorite is fruit cake cookies. A lot of trouble but you can’t eat just one!
Oh my, asking me to pick a fave dessert is like asking me to pick a fave child 😉 I’m a sweets girl, so it’s hard, but my Mama’s dear friend would make pumpkin squares as a kid & she gave us the recipe when I was a teen & I still love them! Think pumpkin pie but with a streusel like top instead of a pie crust on the bottom. So delicious!
The ones with the kisses in the middle on top. I cannot remember the name.
Cut out sugar cookies – made with my dad. They’d be tasty regardless but keeping the tradition going makes everything taste better
My favorite dessert….lol anything sweet! I do love gingerbread!
Cheesecake but at Christmas time I love Russian tea cakes or snowballs as some people call them
I love frosted gingerbread cookies and what we call forgotten cookies. Forgotten cookies are a meringue cookie with chocolate chips or walnut pieces in them. As you’re making them, you have the oven preheating but when you’re ready to put the cookies in you turn the oven off and “forget” about them for the next 12 hours. When done right, they just melt in your mouth.
Sugar cookies!
My favorite dessert was anything my mom made. Except anything with coconut in it! Now that she’s gone I have her treasured recipe box. Whatever I make from it I know she’s adding a little bit of love.❤❤
My favorite to eat and bake are Russian Tea Cakes. I’ve been using the same recipe for years and made right, they melt in your mouth. I’ve had a long time tradition with my children…we get together every year and bake cookies…now the grandkids do the cut out cookie decorating. We have a blast!
Home made shortbread is my all time favourite at Christmas & everyone gets some with their gifts.
My favorite is white chocolate covered pretzels. You can now find them in stores all the time (flipz) but my family and I have been making them since I was a kid, making a huge mess of the melted chocolate is as much a part of the tradition as eating them now lol.
My mothers peanut butter blossoms are my all time favorite cookie!
I have a few favorites: Spumoni ice cream ( when I can find it), my friend Kathy’s sour cream chocolate chip cookies, My friend Tami’s blondies, coconut balls, and buckeyes. If I wasn’t diabetic, I could live on this stuff. Oh, yeah, can”t forget the cheesecake and the dark chocolate cake with the pecan-caramel-coconut frosting! Yum!
I do love cut out sugar cookies, but I have to say the Russian Teacake is my favorite holiday treat.
I have two holiday favorites: Christmas cutout cookies (I thought yours looked yummy btw) and white chocolate puff corn (or Christmas crack, as we call it).
Spritza cookies from my Swedish heritage. Lots of powdered sugar. I also make a mean pumpkin cheese cake
Sugar cookies and shortbread!!!
My favorite holiday dessert is chocolate mint pie. If I had to pick a cookie I would go with peanut butter blossoms with the hershey kiss🍪
Russian teacake!!!
Peppermint chocolate is a seasonal holiday favorite.
My favorite dessert is making homemade apple crumble pie. And peanut butter cookies with Hershey kisses.
Chocolate crinkles with the powdered sugar on top are my favorites, although peanut butter blossoms are in close competition!
My sister makes a black forest trifle that is absolutely to die for. She only makes it once a year at Christmas so it’s my seasonal favorite 🙂
I love to make frosted sugar cookies with the grandbabies they get to give them away to the family and decorate them specifically for the family member they wish to have it.
Again, we agree Julie. My favorite is cutout sugar cookies too. With peanut butter blossoms being a close second. Enjoy!🎄☃️🎅🏼
I love my mom’s almond crescents!!! They are so light with almond flavor and powdered sugar!!! My mom is no longer here but when I start baking these at Christmas I feel like she’s their with me. Ty! So much for chance at a another great prize.💕💋
I love cherry buckeye cookies, they are like the buckeye cookies with a Hershey Kiss in the middle but instead of a peanut butter cookie it is a cherry cookie. YUM!
Sugar cookies with icing. There is something magical about a well made cookie.
Gingerbread cookies! So yummy!
Pecan pie!
My mother would make this coffee cake with chocolate chips on top and a layer of chocolate chips that would melt within the cake itself. Sometimes she would switch it up by turning this into cupcakes (altho, tbh, I don’t know how she managed to get the same effect w the cupcakes as well). But I’m not a baker. At the time, I could eat as much as I wanted — no problem. But since my metabolism has changed, I leave larger amounts for the kids and just eat much smaller pieces with, perhaps some vanilla ice cream to make the entire treat less sweet! It’s unbelievably good and probably 5 million Valerie’s per bite… 🥰🥰🥰
Peanut butter sugar cookies with the Hershey kiss!
My grandma’s carrot cake! It’s very simple but sooo delicious! And short bread butter cookies 😊
My mom made cranberry walnut cookies every year. Sometimes she would add dates from our tree as well. They sound weird but they were so good. I have tried to recreate them time and time again to no avail. She left no written recipe. So, they will remain a lost yummy childhood memory.
My mom makes the best Chess Bars. (What we call them) They are a thick lemony custard on top of a graham crackery cakeish crust. So yummy
I love home made canolis.
I am so blog challenged finding the right comment! But I love sugar cookie cut outs with homemade frosting 🧁
Favorite cookie is No Bake Cookies (Preacher Man Cookies). My mother used to make 2 dozen of them every year at Christmas. That was the only time she would make them.
I make a cranberry Christmas cake that’s so good. It’s my favorite. I’m also a big fan of peppermint bark.
We have a family cookie recipe from my great grandmother. It’s like a shortbread but it is flavored with cardamom.
I love my mama’s homemade pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving and I love fudge or cheesecake on Christmas (the cheesecake has a bottom layer of chocolate cookie crust, a layer of cooked not instant chocolate pudding and the top layer is cheesecake).
I love watergate Salad! It is more of a traditional thing . I have had it at Christmas every year for as long as I can remember, my mom always made sure it was on the dinner table every Christmas, it is such a simple dessert but even when my parents struggled financially at Christmas it was the one thing I knew would be ion the Christmas dessert table !
I make chocolate cookie cutouts, the Greek cookies with the powdered sugar, chocolate crinkles and shortbread cookies with mini chocolate chips. Yum 😋
I love snickerdoodle cookies and brown sugar pie
I love cheese cakes this year I’m going to try a Christmas cheesecake that has cranberries
I love baking lots of different things! I usually spend about a week making gift baskets of treats for family and friends. If I had to choose 1 favorite it would be a Toblerone chocolate shortbread. I love trying different ways to make shortbread cookies a little extra!
Okay so it’s not really a recipe but something i do. I love the holiday oreos (in my opinion they taste different) with a small amount of milk, typed with whipped cream.
My moms whipped shortbread are delish!
No bake cookies!
M favorite cookiecis peanut butter cookies and dessert to make at Christmas is buckeye balls….
Christmas sugar cookies with the red or green sugar sprinkles. They are really plain Jane….but of so good.
Sorry if this repeats as it is not showing. Peanut butter cookies is my favorite to make. Buckeye balls is my favorite all time at Christmas to make..
My homemade chocolate fudge. I’ll eat it with a spoon if for some reason it doesn’t set. My kids and grandkids love it and expect it every year too.
Stauffer’s holiday shortbread cookies from the dollar store and Royal Dansk danish butter cookies in the blue tin.
It would have to be almond meltaways. Mouth watering just thinking about them…..and dark men.😍
Cozonac. 🙂
Love you! 🙂💜
***Can you give us your cookies recipe?
My gram made these Czech cookies called kolaches with almond, apricot, or poppyseed filling every Christmas. Man! I looked forward to those every year! She also made cannolis that were amazing. (My family is Czech on her side and Sicilian on my gramp’s side)
When I was a teen, my mom’s friend, Wilma, always made us a confection called John Wayne’s Balls. Delicious chocolate, coconut, sweet milk, I think there was graham crackers. I know I have the recipe somewhere but I haven’t discovered it since we’ve been in our new home. But it’s in a safe place! 😉
Shortbread or mince pies 😛
Ricotta cheese cookies are my specialty. I will vary the recipe to lemon or plain or almond.
I love baking at Christmas..shortbread is my favourite with my chocolate orange shortbread and my toblerone shortbread being family favs.. I make 25-30 different cookies each year and then giveaway tins of the goodies to friends and neighbours.
Cutout Christmas cookies and those peanut butter chocolate balls… buckeyes.
My fave holiday cookie is pumpkin with cream cheese icing. My fave dessert is pineapple upside down cake.
so my favorite would be our triple chocolate pecan pie! or my moms cheesecake! or my great grandndmothers pumpkin pie!
For any holiday, tiramisu is my all time favorite
I love shortbread cookies and Carrot cake is my favorite. Thank you
Mine would be Sand Tart cookies. colby69@verizon.net
My favorite cookies are Russian teacakes, or bear paw cookies for the grandkids.
I love making Carrot cake, but holliday style (basicaly means added chocolate) 🙂
My favourite strawberry cheesecake!
I love a delicious cut out cookie also and the best ones are always homemade! My favorite Christmas cookie is the Pizzelle, a crisp snowflake shaped cookie sprinkled with powdered sugar and flavored with vanilla beans. So yummy!
My mother’s butter cookie recipe, which we used to make every year before she died, is a treasured favorite. Sometimes we’d use the cookie press to make long narrow cookie logs, cut them when still warm, then press two together using melted chocolate (picture Italian cookies, just more homemade and yummy). Her cookies were always so special.
My best friend’s mother makes Holiday/Christmas cookies for people every year. There’s a particular cookie, I dont know the name of it, has orange zest and coconut (I hate coconut) with a thin glaze on top. I swear, I live for these cookies come Christmas. I’ve dreamt about this damn cookie! 😆 😍
My favourite is butter tarts
We have a grandma special apricot horn recipe we do..they take two days to make but 100% worth all the time.
My kids are finally at that age where they want to help mommy cook! So we are gonna make tons of yummy treats. Have to say no bake cookies 🍪 and peanut butter balls are A must. Gonna attempt homemade sugar cookies with cut outs! 🎄🎄
Not really a dessert person, but love ice cream Hokey Pokey or mint chocolate chip. Biscuits anything with chocolate.
Peanut butter balls. I don’t know why we only make them this time of the year because they are the bomb.
My favorite is Snickerdoodles cookies.
My favorite holiday cookie is snikerdoodle and favorite holiday dessert fruit cake, especially when made with lots of rum
Snowballs are my all time favorite cookie but I also look forward to Pizzelles and Kolachi (nut rolls). I’m going to start making the Kolachi this week so I can mail some to my family members up north. I’m the only one who carried on the tradition of making Kolachi in the family.
My favourite holiday cookie is my gram’s sugar cookie recipie, absolutely amazing! <3
Pumpkin pie with whipped cream
My favorite holiday cookie is chewy gingerbread cookies – yummmm
Would you share the recipe??
Sugar cookies. I always order caramel apple with holiday color candy on them. They are super yummy.
I love making desserts like cookies and nothing beats making an awesome gingerbread house but to eat it’s all about the abundance of fudge available this time of year! Chocolate mint and chocolate peanut butter specifically.
Pecan pie torte. It’s just thinner, about 1” thick instead of a pie 21/2” thick. Same taste, less calories but delicious.
Peanut Butter Blossoms and Fudge
I make a mean cherry chocolate Biscotti which is delicious but my all time favorite is chocolate chip with more pecans than chips…yum!
My absolutely favourite Christmas treat is gingerbread cookie with a bit of blue cheese on it and a glass of port wine as an accompaniment. The combination is to die for! A must for every Christmas!
I don’t know about holiday sweets, but I love chocolate cake. 🙂
Cheesecake or butter cookies I just love the buttery crunch!
My favorite treat at Christmas are my Aunt Suzy’s sugar cookies. They are always so soft with a hint of lemon and she frosts them. So yummy!
Homemade peanut brittle I make it every year
My favorite holiday treat is my Grandma Eula’s “nut bread.” Better known as Povitica, it is a yeast-raised dough rolled into thin sheets and topped with a sweet walnut filling that gets rolled up jellyroll-style and baked in a loaf pan. My grandmother made a hundred loaves each year, and everyone in the family got one wrapped in aluminum foil tied with a red curl ribbon bow. Delicious!
Christmas sugar cutout cookies are my favorite! A close second are the peanut butter blossom cookies with the Hershey kisses. Yum!
Green cookies! That’s what we (my siblings and I) always call them anyways 🤣 They are pistachio chocolate chip cookies that my Grandma always made. Once she passed away I became the designated green cookie maker, they are super delicious!
My sweet tooth loves it all!! I do miss my aunts fudge she used to make every year for the holidays though. It was soooo good! 🤤
My Aunty makes me wedding tea cookies and they are amazing. It’s my favorite part of the holidays.
Pineapple Bundt cake my mom makes for all special occasions. It’s made with crushed pineapple and it’s simple. It’s been passed down from my great grandmother to me. It’s special and my siblings and I always look forward to it. Now my husband and sons also love it.
My favorite holiday desert is two vanilla wafers sandwiching a marshmallow fluff mixture that tastes like ores cream rolled in sprinkles. Yummmmmm
Apple pie with chocolate ice cream, a little strange I know but the chocolate pairs with the tartness off the apples
My family gas made the same cookies every year and they are my favorite
I always make Peanut Butter Balls for Christmas
My all time favorite is a snickerdoodle. So yummy! 😋
i can’t pick just one! pizelles from my italian heritage and nut roll from my husband’s slovak side….both delicious
I love vlassic sugar cookies! Also a niece recently made me a vegan chocolate chip cookie it was amazing! New favorite.
sugar cookies and chocolate chips cookies
I love the soft decorated holiday sugar cookies made by Cheryl’s cookies.
Yule log!
Favorite holiday cookie is Snickerdoodles!
Sugar cookies and Pecan pie.
I love the butter cookies the most at Christmas.
I can’t bake to save my life, but I do make 849376 chocolate covered pretzel rods every year. They are all decorated in different colors and fun christmas sprinkles.
It is a toss up between fudge and Pecan tassies.
Gingerbread cookies are my favourite
I bake a lot of things and cookies tend to be my least favorite because of labor intensity, but Lace Cookies are my all time favorites for the holiday. They are mostly cashews, butter, and sugar. What’s not to love?
Great Grandma’s recipe soft sugar cookies with buttercream frosting & mom’s cinnamon rolls. DELICIOUS!
I can never say no to a peanut butter blossom! So yummy!!
I love cut out cookies too – my family recipe is called Plain Cookies… my mom’s pound cake, ideally with frozen custard on the side, also says to me ‘it’s Christmas’.
Peanut brittle and then jalapeño jelly over cream cheese on crackers
I have 2 favorites. I make soft gingerbread cookies. I don’t have the patience to make men anymore and Florentine Lace cookies. I miss my mother’s Struffoli. Thanks for the chance to win. Enjoy your Christmas cookies!
My favorite is my MIL Chesscake! Those things are so good 😋
My favorite thing to make is Christmas Crack. They say it’s called crack because it cracks when you bite it, but I call it crack because it’s addicting!! Haha! It is so easy to make – crackers, caramel, chocolate, and Christmas sprinkles on top. It’s delicious!!
I make a kick ass fudge and my molasses cookies are not too hard and not too soft. They are just right, and they make the house smell amazing.
My favourite holiday cookie is shortbread.
My favorite holiday cookie is red velvet crinkles’. I also love my homemade peanut butter fudge. It’s so smooth and creamy… melts in your mouth.
I love gingerbread cookies!
Homemade pecan pie, made with bourbon, of course! So delicious.
Christmas cut out cookies are my favorite too!! We love baking and decorating them every year.
Definitely my mom’s homemade Christmas candies. For over 50 years, she had spent all of Thanksgiving week off work (or during retirement just during that week) making between 25 and 40 different kinds of candy to share with friends and neighbors, co-workers and loved ones. When I was a little girl up until I left home at 23, I would help. As I got older, I’d be handed one of the recipes and simply be asked to just make that one. I had three sisters who also helped, one of whom has since passed away.
This year is the first year Mom won’t be making her candies. First, she will be 80 in May. She’s tired. It’s a lot of work to do it all by herself, and she just simply doesn’t want to do it anymore. Second, all of the ingredients are not currently available due to the ongoing covid shortages on this and that. She tried to buy some ingredients for just a smaller amount of candies, but she couldn’t even find enough to do just a few recipes.
She’ll be emailing her recipes out to her remaining daughters and all of the grandchildren since we all loved her candies so much. Many have turned out to be terrific cooks (my own kids included) and desperately want to duplicate their favorites from Grandma’s recipes. I can’t wait to have some chocolate-covered peanut butter balls. They put Reese’s to shame. LOL
I love making Christmas bark with my teenagers. It’s not a dessert or cookie but something we like to make and enjoy eating afterwards way too much!!
That is a toss-up between my grandma’s pumpkin pie and the M&M cookies we make.
Peanut butter balls. They are so good
I love Buckeyes (or peanut butter balls, but being from Ohio, we call it like they look)
Cinnamon rolls are my favorite!
i love red velvet cake
My favorite is a rum cake, though my Pecan Pie Cheesecake is a huge hit this year.
Homemade sugar cookies are my favorite.
Chocolate peanut butter fudge. For some reason it’s the only time I make it, that seems to make it more coveted and enjoyable. Thank you for the awesome chance!
Ginger molasses and sugar cutout cookies
Toffee
Thanks for the chance!
Sugar Cookies. Two of my nieces come over and help my Mom and I bake and decorate the cookies. It’s become a tradition with the four of us. Homemade chocolate fudge comes in a close second.
I love chocolate log with cream and a baileys to wash it down
❤️💜💙
Shortbread cookies dipped in chocolate on the ends. My daughter makes the best!
Sugar cookies and rum cake
Oreo balls are the best!
I love Turtle bars! Followed by Christmas crack!
Eggnog cheesecake is probably my all time favorite with the gingersnap crust and the creamy nutmeg infused cheesecake. Cookies would be the peanut butter cookies with the kisses in the middle.
My mom started a tradition of baking sugar cookies and painting them with food coloring when I was a child. I still make them, and everyone loves them! We also still make her gingerbread men recipe.
Snowballs are my favorite holiday dessert
Classic Spitz Cookies or cheesecake, always cheesecake.
Pumpkin Better than Sex cake is my favorite, not that the cake is better than sex but sometimes it comes pretty close.
Love the Christmas cutout cookies with homemade icing or spritz cookies.
I love snickerdoodles they have become my favourite.
My favourite holiday dessert would have to be pavlova 😁
Oatmeal and Berries (blueberries, cranberries, and raisins) cookies and just dessert Cheesecake (cinnamon, cherry, salted carmel, sweet potato, or pineapple upside down) I love cheesecake
My favorite is Christmas treat are sugar cookies!
Oooohhh this is hard because with my food allergies I can’t have all my favorites…but right now I’m craving Holiday Hash. It’s really more like a fudge with mini marshmallows and nuts in it.
My favorite cookie is a vanilla almond cutout cookie that gets requested for every holiday event. Also, thanks for the reminder that I need to bake about 8 dozen this week! How is it already December 5th!!
Molasses cookies. I don’t make then any other time of the year. Also peanut butter blossoms.
Thank you for the chance.
My favorite holiday dessert is Butterscotchies. My mother only makes them for Christmas.
My favorite dessert is Sweet Potato Pie!! It is so delicious made from scratch!! YUMMY!!
Snowball cookies were something my grandma and I used to make every Christmas among others but those were both our favs. She’s been gone for 11 Christmases now. I’ve tweaked my recipe, as my son has T1D and we don’t use regular sugars or flours in our house and you can’t tell the difference.
Tuxedo cookies
Better Homes and Gardens old fashioned sugar cookies with a bit of lemon or orange zest in them. They are a buttery treat. They can be a challange to cut out but a cookie press makes all the difference. They even taste better when they start to go stale. I love them!
I have two. My first is a baklava and my second is peppermint fudge. I try to not over due baking. My son is a type 1 diabetic and he loves sweets so I minimize when possible.
I like my mom’s peanut butter fudge no bake cookies (we always called them “Cowpie Cookies” and these almond (I think) sugar dusted ones a co-worker of mine brings to work every year. I also like Walker’s Shortbread.
I love all the covers of this book so much! SO pretty! Thanks for the chance!
Lamingtons are my favourite.
Blueberry cheesecake ❤️
I love baking around the holidays. I do a white chocolate crunch that all the kids love! Also make a bourbon pecan pie and rum pumpkin pie lol. I love this day! The covers for loving dark men are hot!!
I love peanutbutter fudge but I can’t make it for shit. I do a cutout cookie decorated with flood icing very well though. 😉
Shortbread cookies with sugar on top
Oooo I’m a sweets girl so this is tough, but I think my favorite is these sugar cookies the kids I used to nanny make for me. They’re so good and have frosting and sprinkles on top, ugh delicious!
My aunt’s Mint Meltaways cookies. They are a super light sugar cookie with a mint frosting dumped into a thumbprint on the cookie.
Reese’s pb cup cookies are my fav!! Thanks for the chance!!
Tough – probably anything with cinnamon or peanut butter (especially cheesecakes or cookies)
Cheesecake
Red velvet cake or homemade Christmas cookies. Thanks for the chance!
My favorite holiday dessert is nutroll. My favorite cookie is coconut macaroons!
My favorite holiday treat to make is peanut butter fudge. I make batches to give out as gifts. My favorite to eat are my grandmas recipes of home made chocolate chip cookies. I love them warm out the oven with a big glass of milk.
Ooohhh, an easy on the mind one today – can’t go past a proper butter shortbread for my cookie of choice and traditional home made Christmas pudding, rum sauce and a dollop of cream. Horrendous amount of calories but so delicious and there is fruit, right?
My favorite Christmas cookies are Snowballs, they are packed with a ton of chopped pecans then I like to roll them in powdered sugar when still warm out of the oven, but the secret is to roll them in the sugar two more times, because the cookies aren’t sweet at all, but they melt in your mouth along with the powdered sugar and then you get the nice crunch from the pecans. I’ve been using a recipe from the first cook book ever given to me when I was 21, it’s a Betty Crocker cook book from 1969, I’m 74 now and still enjoy making these cookies (my daughter’s favorite Christmas cookie) every Christmas, and I still have that book.😉❤
Mexican Wedding Cake (Cookies.) May not necessarily be ‘Holiday’ desserts, but that’s typically when we have them.
Love shortbread cookies homemade with cut outs of Christmas etc santa,Christmas tree,snowman
My favourite desert is caramel mud cake and lemon merengue pie
Thanks for the chance
Italian cookies
Andes mint cookies
My favorite Christmas cookie is a peanut butter cookie with the chocolate kiss on it! these have always been my all time favorite!
I love snowball cookies or wedding cookies. Thank you for the chance 🥰
My mom, sister and I bake together each year. The thing I love most is chocolate covered cherries.
I don’t bake at all, or cook much, but I found these great vegan, all-natural, refined sugar free chocolate and macadamia cookies from Kooka’s Natural that are so amazing. And I’ve taken to pairing them with Loco Love chocolate drops (also vegan, all-natural, RSF), to add an extra melt-in-the-mouth chocolate dimension to them!
I LOVE cutout cookies too! I love when they are iced not frosted. I will take these cookies over any other. Yum 😋
Pecan meltaways my uncle use to give us a tin every year
I love Christmas cutout cookies they are properly my very high second. My all time favorite Christmas cookies are snowball cookies. There is nothing as good as one of those buttery Pecan powdered sugar covered balls.
I love pandoro.
My favorite cookies would be M&M cookies. Just like chocolate chip cookies but with just red and green M&M’s.
I love snickerdoodle. We only make them around the holiday so I look forward to them every year
This question actually made me sad because even as a kid we never made Christmas desserts so as an adult we never adopted that tradition. Now I need to do that for the future.
Man, I just love shortbread Christmas cookies. Second is definitely sugar cookies.
We Estonians love our gingerbread cookies, my mother makes them for sale too. Every year she starts in the beginning of November and every time I visit her, her house smells like gingerbread house 😀
Peppermint fudge brownies. I can eat a whole batch of them.
Caramel popcorn one of the realtors I work with gives everyone bags for Christmas ! It’s my fav so she always makes extra for me! Not Christmas without the popcorn it’s like crack! Lol so good
I love Sugar cookies with egg nog.
I love peanut butter blossoms and Christmas crack
One holiday desert I have always loved is my mom’s lemon bars, they are sweet and tart at the same time. There are far too many to list them all I have a bit of a sweet tooth.
Peppermint cookies or salted caramel cookies! Have a magical holiday season!
Eggnog cookies
Being British it’s got to be the traditional mince pies.
Eggnog

Crescent moon
chocolate chess pie and my mom’s pecan pie

My favorite holiday cookie is my grandmother’s chocolate oatmeal drop cookies. I use crunchy peanut butter to get the peanut pieces in them as a bonus. So rich, soft, and yummy!!
Baklava. I only make it once a year and everyone looks forward to it. Or so they tell me!
Cranberry pecan drop cookies. No icing and easy.
I think your cookies look quite tasty! I am a big fan of frosted sugar cookies and rum cake – two holiday favorites around here.
It’s a tie between my mom’s dump cake and my great-grandmother’s peanut butter fudge balls (or lumps as we call them because they’re never really round, hahaha).
I swear, you just always have the coolest stuff ever in your giveaways!
My favorite cookie I make is Toffee Brickle and my favorite dessert is Peppermint Bark Cheesecake. Your cookies look so good!
Sugar cookies are my favorite. The kind our family makes looks almost identical to the ones in your picture. It’s fun cutting them out and decorating them.
Snickerdoodles, mostly for the nostalgia; we always made them together as a family when I was a kid <3
Peanut Butter Kiss cookies are my fav!!!
Your cookies look delicious! My favorite ones to make are gingerbread men.
Chocolate covered pretzels
my favorite is peanut butter balls.
Home made candy! Chocolate marshmallow fluff fudge, peanut butter chocolate covered balls and peanut or cashew clusters! Mmm
It’s a tie between Grandma’s pecan cookies (totally addicting) or Texas pralines (so many calories).
My mom fudge is one thing I love eating every holiday.
Peppermint cookies
They are kinda plain and boring but my favorite are the Christmas sugar cookies with the read and green sugar sprinkles. (I posted earlier but it said error, so trying again. Sorry if it is a duplicate)
My mom’s dark chocolate caramels
I like lemon shortbread.
Bruce’s shortbread nummy – he was a co-worker who attempted perfection ever year by tweaking the recipe ❣️
No bake cookies. My mom used to make multiple kinds of cookies at Christmas and pass them out to family and friends. No bake cookies were always my favorite. I miss mom and her cookies.
I’m halfway through reading Loving Dark Men. Favourite dessert is vanilla pannacotta
My grandmother’s peanut butter fudge. I haven’t had it in quite a few years since she’s been gone, but it melted in your mouth, and I will always think of her when I see it.
My Grandma’s “Reindeer Antlers” Butterscotch & Peanut butter with marshmallows and chow mein noodles freaking yummy 😋
I’m halfway through reading Loving Dark Men just now. Favourite dessert is vanilla pannacotta

Peanut butter cookies 🍪🤤!!!!
It’s all about the Christmas cut-out sugar cookies. I have made them with my boys every year since they were little. I love the tradition and they are yummy.
Do I have to pick just one? There are so many goodies I love this time of year. Christmas fudge, ginger snaps with white chocolate, cranberry pudding, Melomakarona, and so much more.
My favorite is one I have made forever. It is a Christmas cut-out Sugar Cookie with frosting(with a hint of almond extract) Yum! Second favorite are Biscotti but that I kinda make that year round sooooo yeah.

Eggnog bread
I love thumbprint cookies! My grandma used to make them with red and green maraschino cherries

I love the kiss cookies. My son replaced the kiss with a mini peanut butter cup and OMG so freaking good. I also make my mom’s pumpkin pies. I am now making 12 of them because people want to take them home or I give them as gifts. It is a great way of keeping her memory alive. Merry Christmas Julie.
One of my favorites is a recipe my mom got many years ago ..
Mary A’s chocolate so very rich but delicious
Thank you
There are so many great holiday desserts that it is hard to pick a favorite, but I love my husband’s homemade biscotti.
Pumpkin pie
Bourbon balls, so yummy
My favorite Holiday dessert is Plum Pudding with Brandy butter.
For my family Christmas is not complete without a container of peanut butter blossoms! We all love to sit around and roll the cookie balls together and my husband is the best Hershey kiss unwrapper ever lol.
My sisters make really good cookies. Rugelach, spice cookies and cutout butter cookies.
I crave my aunt’s sugar cookies. Instead of using extracted almond or vanilla as it’s flavoring, the recipe uses whiskey. Really. The flavor is divine. I don’t even frost the cookies I eat because the dough tastes so good!
Sugar cookies that are decorated by my 4 year old.
Sugar cookies and home made bourbon balls,
Basically, my sweet tooth is out of control! There’s really no holiday sweet I wouldn’t love. However, if I have to choose one as my go-to, it would have to be Peanut Butter Blossom cookies. They’re super easy to make and who doesn’t love a cookie with a Hershey’s Kiss in the middle?!! I love to make them every year at Christmas. I struggle not to eat them all while making them!
i love italian rainbow cookies
There are sooo many good desserts my family makes for the holiday season, but I think my favorite is my great aunt’s cookies. They’re a melt away cookie made with a lot of butter and sugar. Little round balls that melt in your mouth! Food coloring is used to make them red or green. Along with them my great aunt used to make and now my mom makes Mexican wedding cookies. Each of these cookies melts in your mouth. They’re so beautiful with their red, green, and white presented together. And, of course, making and enjoying these cookies every year is one of the ways to keep and reminisce about our Aunt Ollie! ❤❤❤
Thank you for the 12 Days of Christmas giveaways. I appreciate your generosity. And I love the excitement the 12 Days of Christmas provides as it ushers in the festive season!
Sugar cookies that my grandkids decorate, they taste the best.
My favorite Christmas cookie is a tried and true favorite, cut-out frosted sugar cookies. Make a large mug of hot chocolate and dip those bad boys in and enjoy!!! It’s simple yet it makes me feel like a kid again.
I love angel cookies! The cream of tarter makes them taste unique. They are also chewy and delicious! My mom always makes them.
Hi – My favorite Christmas cookies are spritz press butter cookies. It was our family tradition to make them growing up. Now my brothers and my kids make them on Christmas Eve. Brings back great memories. One bite and the taste brings me back in time.
I our house the most favorite is choclate chip cookies without the choclate chips.
Spritz cookies with royal icing. Yum! I just finished a relisten to Loving Dark Men last week 🙂
Peanut butter blossom cookies
My favorite is Almond Banket and Pecan Tassies. My grandma always made these for holiday gatherings and I have her recipes, so there is lots of nostalgia wrapped up in making and tasting them.
Pecan pie!! It’s so good and I’m glad it’s only around once a year lol. Keeps it special.
My favorite is sugar cookies and gingerbread men as theyre fun to decorate and delicious to eat.
Nutmallows-they’re kinda like fudge but the main ingredients are chocolate and butterscotch chips, peanuts, colored marshmallows. So good!!
Christmas Pudding ~ I’m English 😉
Cookies though ~ love the cut outs that I make with my kids, the memories are what make them my favorite.
My favorite holiday cookies is Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookies.
Snickerdoodle
Chocolate turtle
snickerdoodle
I’m a traditionalist. I love a shortbread sugar cookie with royal icing.
I love to make Christmas candy, my favorite is called a goofball. It’s a large marshmallow rolled in a Carmel mixture and then rolled in Rice Krispies..so yummy!! Not much of a cookie baker this time of year.
Love the almond snow balls!
Those cookies look so yummy!
I love Christmas cutout cookies too. I also love pecan pie and Danish wedding cookies around the holidays. 🙂
Frozen mocha cheesecake, or pecan pie
Peanut Butter balls! Those sugar cookies look to pretty to eat.
I’ve always loved pumpkin pie with freshly made whip cream. Growing up my mom would make the crust from scratch. She always made extra so she could make pinwheels that we’d have for breakfast in the morning. They were not quite a cookie, not quite a cinnamon roll. She’d roll out the the extra dough, cover it in butter and cinnamon sugar then roll it up and slice them…pinwheels. When they baked they’d caramelize a little bit. She eventually stopped and our Christmas morning ritual when I was an adult were these soft baked scones with fresh cream and jam/jelly. She and I liked trying new and different jams each year. The first Christmas after she passed, I was in the store and saw this container in the bakery section with something that looked like her pinwheels. They weren’t exactly the same but so close that I cried. Now if I could just find her soft scone recipe….
I love the Christmas cookies we make on Christmas Eve with my sisters,nieces and nephews. One of my sisters bakes them,using Martha Stewart’s sugar cookie recipe,then we all decorate them!
My favorite holiday cookie is gingerbread cookies for sure!
Cut out cookies are my favorite too. This time of year my sweet tooth goes crazy!
I Love fruit cake cookes, only make once a year
I love the spritz cookies you make using that device that looks like a gun and that lets you affix different shapes of cookies to the barrel. The taste is similar to a sugar cookie, not overly sweet, and you’re able to eat just one because of their smaller size.
Almond Cresents and a swiss roll cake. Reminds me of childhood.
Cut out butter cookies with a powder sugar icing are my favorite. It’s something I’d never had until my step-mom came into my life. I think the fact that I associate them with her might be part of the reason I love then so much. 😉
Chocolate trifle
My favorite has always been Mexican Wedding Cakes – those little butter flavored cookie balls with chopped pecans and rolled in confectioners sugar. They are also called Russian Teacakes.
My mom’s cheesecake that she only makes for Christmas – so good!
My favorite Christmas cookie is brown sugar cookies and these cookies my mom call snowballs. (They are a mixture of pecans and powdered sugar!) my favorite cookie!!!
My favorite Christmas cookie are the sugar cookies my sister makes for the holidays. We then decorate them as a family ❤️
All of the cookies and Pecan Pie but I take the pecans off of the top and put them on my Hubby’s piece
I love gingerbread cookies. For dessert it’s New Zealand’s signature dish, pavlova. It’s a cake sized meringue covered in cream and fruit. It’s delish.
I love sugar cookies.
My favorite is ALL the cookies. Just making recipe after recipe and then opening the cookie tin to a smorgasbord of various cookies. Oh, and fudge. That also lives in the cookie tin.
I love the classic chocolate chip cookies.
I love frosted sugar cookies.
My mother-in-law gave me her recipe for coconut marshmallow balls. Every year it seems I have to increase the number of batches I make! Your cookies look amazing! ❤️📚🎄 Thank you so very much for the chance. This is my top selection of yours to read next ☺️❤️🎄
My favorite holiday dessert is pumpkin pie.
I love Divinity. Especially strawberry. Lost my Nanny’s recipe.
Peanut butter cookies with a candy kiss on top.
I have 2 favourites. One is a ginger biscuit – also an aunt’s recipe and the other is a vanilla cookie with coffee icing sticking 2 cookies together, which was handed down from mom. They are both huge recipes that were made when families were quite big. The gingers uses 9 cups of flour and the vanilla one uses 8 cups. My traditional cookie bake day is on 16 December which is a public holiday but this year it will have to wait until we are back from holidays
I love my grandmas cutout cookie recipe with icing and decorations on them! They are so good!
gingerbread
pumpkin cheesecake
I absolutely love chocolate buttermilk cake!

My Grandson works at a place called Crumble Cookies and I can tell you this you won’t have a favorite cookie because they are ALL delicious!! You can’t stop eating them!!
White chocolate macadamia
I have a very large family, so our holidays are crazy and everyone cooks. The desserts are amazing, but it’s still all about the pumpkin pie, for me. Nothing says Christmas to me like pumpkin pie does.
I guess timing is everything! I made a dozen different types of cookies yesterday. My favorite are ButterBalls. My son’s are M’jestic Smores, daughters Magic Cookie bars and husbands are Almond Joy cookies. – I seem to bake for days
My Grandma’s Chocolate Éclair Cake.
My favorite holiday dessert is my chocolate oreo creme pie with peppermint shaving and whip cream on top.
This time of year I cant go past a pavlova, the perfect Christmas treat in my family.
Pecan pie
Sour Cream Applepie with crumb topping
It’s not really a dessert but I love making egg nog French toast around the Christmas season. And if you use croissants instead of bread, sooooo much better!
Danish cookies. We only had them around Christmas and to this day I still get excited when I see that blue tin box.
My mom made these absolutely amazing confetti squares (peanut butter and mini marshmallows being main ingredients). But eggnog is also a holiday staple. And cookies.
Snickerdoodles using red and green sugar
Pumpkin cookies, they are round, fluffy and cake-like with a sugar glaze on top, yumm!! I’m drooling just thinking about making them now!!
For me, it would be a toss-up between pumpkin pie and cheese cake.
I love gingerbread in all forms, homemade eggnog, and Buche de Noel! Yummy!
My homemade snickerdoodles are to die for.lol
My mother-in-law’s Christmas sugar cookie recipe. Traditionally made in the shape of santa and decorated boots, bag and all.

I love Christmas Fudge. Drool
love my mothers black forest cake
Snickerdoodle is my fave! Thank you
Gingerbread cookies are my favorite!! 😋
My favorite is a traditional fruit/Christmas cake from home in Jamaica. Most persons here in the US refer to it as black cake because it’s darker than chocolate cake. It is the most delicious thing ever and it has lots of wine and rum in it 😁
I love these light airy cookies filled with a creamy icing. I’m not sure what they are really called but a family friend makes them and they are the best.
My favorite Christmas dessert is trying everyone else’s. I am extremely partial to homemade cookies especially the ones that are decorated by kids, but I love experiencing everyone’s favorites and comparing my feelings to theirs lol.
Snickerdoodle cookies but really any cookie is still a cookie so yum.
I enjoy baking for the holidays…cranberry orange biscotti are my favorites. I also love a nice bailey’s cheese cake.
Frosted Sugar cookies
Homemade short bread cookies!
Fudge and divinity are my favorites!
Egg nog french toast…..sounds weird but its SO delicious.
Cut out sugar cookies all the way! Not only are they yummy but I have lots of great memories making and decorating them with my kiddos.

I love chocolate peanut clusters. I only make them at Christmas because they are too yummy!
Christmas sugar cookies.
Buckeyes

My favorite holiday cookie is snowballs. They are wicked easy to make so you can just pop them in your mouth and realize you just ate the entire tin. Thanks!
Sugar cookies and peppermint bark
I love Cutout Sugar cookies with royal icing and some holiday sprinkles.
I love Christmas cutouts, but I need a good recipe. My daughter made Clue Cookies this year which are Peanut Butter Corn Flake cookies and it was very nostalgic for me. My brother always made them for Christmas.
My maternal grandma used to make a dessert with red jello, cool whip, strawberries, blueberries, walnuts, shredded coconut, and fruit cocktail. It was DELICIOUS!
Every year my mother would make over 50 dozen cookies of all types to use as gifts and for us to eat. There was one she made, a cream cheese cookie that was just so divine. I don’t know how she did it but she made her cookies from memory and although my sisters and I asked her how she did it, we could never get the cookies to taste like hers 🙁 personally I think her fingers were infused with the magick of love.
I do love some good cut out sugar cookies (my kids and I make them a few days before Christmas each year – my husband typically snags some for “taste testing”) but fudge is my favorite! My grandmother made the best chocolate fudge and peanut butter fudge. So smooth and yummy! 🙂
My moms christmas fudge and frosted Christmas cookies
My Great Grandmother’s Christmas Snowball cookies!
I love gingerbread cookies. I use all different kinds of holiday cutters- snowflake, Christmas tree, etc, but the gingerbread men are the most satisfying to eat.
Snickerdoodles!!! So good 🙂
My favorite is also Christmas cutout cookies with lots of frosting or icing and sprinkles of every color! But I also make my grandmother’s oatmeal raisin cookies. She would have been 132 this year, so that tells you how old this recipe is. Christmas is the only time I make either of these recipes. Of course I bake a lot, but these 2 are my personal favorite.
My favorite holiday cookies are peppermint sugar cookies.
Oh how to choose just one…. I love soft sugar cookies without icing, chewy brownies, pecan and pumpkin pie, I could go on and on🎄
My favorite is the Little Debbie’s Christmas tree cake dip. So yummy.
Sugar Cookies! mmmmmmmm
My favorite cookie for Christmas is Russian tea cookies 🎄
I love Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies !
My favorite Christmas time treat is Magic Bars, all that melted chocolate and buttery goodness. I could make them any time of year, but they have always been a Christmas time favorite.
Favorite holiday treat is my Cherry Chocolate Shortbread. It is to die for!!! It is a wonderful treat and I can’t only eat them at Christmas.
The original Miracle on 34th Street.
Sugar cookies you can make whatever you want. It’s coloring but with frosting. My mom also makes these things called pazeles. And you can put icing on them
My husbands grandfather makes some German lebkuchen cookies every year in December and these cookies are to die for. Because of the time, money, and physical activity of making those cookies, he only makes them one time a year, and then gives a lot out to different family members as gifts. These cookies are true treats that we look forward to every year.
My favorite holiday treat is my grandma’s shortbread cookie!
I love Pecan Tarts!
Pecan Divinity is my favorite
I love my mom’s sugar cookies but living 4000 miles away from her means I do not get to eat them very often.
I use Martha Stewarts recipe for the Sugar Cookies. I miss the days when all my little ones would decorate the cookies. I only have 1 left in the house and at 16 she just doesn’t want to anymore. We also do Nacho night for dinner with all the fixings. That is my favorite.
Italian Genet cookies and Pecan Pie
Oatmeal Dark Chocolate cookies & banana cream pie
Cut out cookies for sure
It’s not Christmas without mince pies. The only time I eat them, but they’re lovely hot with whipped double cream.
Meltaways!
It has to be my Nanny’s Cherry Cream Pie. She would make it every year. We lost her this year, it just won’t be the same if I make it.
Chocolate covered cherries, the boxed kind. Lol
My favorite Christmas cookie is Gingerbread figures with lots of spice. They had an extra kick to them when my husband was baking “Cannamen” when we were growing boutique pot – before the recreational legalization in California. Spicy and potent!
My Grandma Emma’s peanut butter fudge
My favorite holiday cookies are the sugar cookies, so many shapes and decorations, love them all!
My grannies recipe for sugar cookies, my mother in law’s snickerdoodles, and my Great granny’s recipe for from scratch Red velvet cake with cream cheese icing

i love sugar cookies.
I love German Christmas Stollen.
I love a good crisp Gingerbread cookie
Ginger snaps
I love the peanut butter temptations. They’re supposed to be made in mini muffin cups, which I didn’t have the first time I made them, so I made them as cookies. Since then I’ve had them in the muffin cups but they’re way fluffier (more fluffy?) as cookies. They’re one of the very few things I bake.
Snickerdoodles, Peppermint Chocolate Dream Cake, & Fudge
I love Christmas cookies. My favorite is a sugar cookie recipe my grandmother made every year growing up with all us grandchildren. Every year we would go to her house and decorate her Christmas tree while she made the dough. Then all us grandkids would cut out favorite shapes and decorate. I thought we lost the recipe when she passed away so, I was so excited when I received the recipe from my Aunt. They taste SO good and bring back amazing memories. Merry Christmas!
Um, that’d be Grandma’s FUDGE.

Oh and my favourite dessert is my family’s “green salad “. Container of cool whip, can of crushed pineapple undrained, cup of mini marshmallows, and box of pistachio pudding mix. Blend together and devour! Technically it’s a dessert but we always served it with the meal. So yummy!
The first time I brought it to my in-laws they were wondering if I was crazy but by the end of dinner they were fighting over who got to lick the spoon.
Special icecream dessert Vienetta. We eat it every year after dinner.
The Secretary at my husband’s work makes Christmas desert called Christmas Crack and it is one of my favorite things to eat at Christmas time. It is so addicting. That’s why they call it Christmas Crack because one just won’t get it.
Any kind of cake. Just made cherry upside down cake.
You’re so creative, Julie. Love the paintings at the beginnings of chapters.
We have a dessert called Guava Duff, it’s delicious. It’s a dough filled with a guava fruit compote and rolled like a log. It can be baked or boiled. The extra splash is the icing with a bit of rum for the holidays!
Ok here is the thing, I really love Christmas pastries, here in Italy there is a a lot of them, panettoni, pandori, tronchetto, pettole, cartellate, papassini. and so on.. 😅 But I think that the traditional Panettone did do me, it’s not Christmas without it! 😍 😍 😍
Christmas time is when I make my 10 lb. cheesecake–a family favorite!

I could eat pumpkin cheesecake all year round.
Definitely Christmas cutout cookies and my Granny’s recipe for 7-up Pound Cake, it is so yummy. 😋

Boozy Fruitcake
I LOVE all cookies! But if I had to choose it would be the cut outs. My MIL has the best recipe. It has lemon flavor ( I normally don’t like lemon) and so delicious! I roll them kinda thick. I like them soft not hard. ( Kinda strange, I know. Lol) I also love lots of frosting! I put cream of tartar in my icing & it makes it kinda shiny. Thank you for the chance. Merry Christmas

Shortbread no doubt! So simple, but yet so buttery! Nom…nom…nom.
Sweet mince pie warm with creamy custard.
That’s a hard choice. I always do the 12 cookies of Christmas because I can’t choose! If I had to narrow it down to three I’d say chocolate chip (classic) seven layer rainbow cookies (delightful!) and rugelach (yummm!). Don’t make me choose between my babies. It’s just too hard.
My favorite dessert, and the one that has become my signature Christmas dessert is my Mama’s Red Velvet Cake. I just made one this past weekend for my sister to take to her office Christmas party. By the end of the evening I had orders for definitely two, possibly three requested by her co-workers and then I have two to make for my immediate family. Red Velvet Cake for the win!
Sugar cookies, not just any sugar cookies though, my grandmothers recipe of paper thin crispy sugar cookies! In Christmas shapes of course! They take me back to my childhood!
I am a big fan of snickerdoodles
My mom’s pineapple upside down cake!
A family recipe called Forgotten Cookies.
I come from a family of cooks, no bakers. But I started baking cookies about 15 years ago. I make plates to hand out to our family, and that’s a lot of plates. And for thanksgiving, I make a banana split cheese cake. It is amazing! So, that is my favorite thing about holiday dessert.
I found a great shortbread recipe that incorporates tiny pieces of glacee cherries. My husband love brazil nut rolls. Mucky to make, but Oh, so good.!
I tried my hand at a yule log last year, and it turned out great. It’s now a tradition.
I love a good fruit cake made with rum. Cabellas sells a good one.
chocolate cake
Banana Pudding for sure!
Homemade chocolate chip cookies are my favorite year round!!!
Gingerbread cookies
My favorite holiday desserts are sweet potato pie, peach cobbler, and strawberry cheesecake.

I love pies, all kinds of pies! The more the better.
My weakness is pecan and walnut divinity candy. Red velvet cake is a very close second.
I think fudge is my favorite. For some reason, it is exclusively a Christmas time creation, in our family.
Can’t beat a mince pie! <3
Can’t beat a mince pie! <3
If you ask my kids, it’s my amazing chocolate chip cookies that I only make once a year 🤣 however, I’m a sucker for Christmas fudge 😍
My favorite Christmas cookie is peanut butter blossoms. We bake all kinds of cookies for Christmas but those are always the first to go. My whole family loves them. When my kids were little they only wanted to leave those out for Santa!
Nanaimo bars, every time – you can get them throughout the year, but it’s just not the same unless they’re tinted green for Christmas!
My favorite Christmas dessert is peppermint bark and banana pudding!
Frosted sugar cookies!

Ooh rumballs because it has rum in it! Anything with alcohol in it!
Peanut butter blossoms! I am a sucker for peanut butter and chocolate and my son and I make these together: it’s one of my favorite holiday traditions.
Ugh, you hit me in my weakest spot! I abso love my hubby’s great gmas recipe (handed down to all who ask for it within the family) of these soft double decker xmas cookies, tri-colored cookies and the gingerbread man cookies because we’ll read the story and take a bite whenever we’re not called to read aloud. Whoever finishes before the story ends can’t have another cookie for an hour.
My favorite dessert for Christmas is apple cake. An elderly neighbor who has passed since gave me the recipe about 30 years ago. It was hand written by her in the 1940’s and easy as anything for someone who is not a baker
My mom makes buñuelos from scratch. So yummy
That is an impossible question for me to answer. My family has our own cookbook of family cookie recipes. My mom would start weeks before Christmas making cookies and then freezing them before preparing trays for friends and family. I can even tell you which ones taste better frozen and which ones don’t try till they defrost.
Eggnog for sure
My favorite is frosted sugar cookies with sprinkles. yummy!
Rum balls.
I love Cut out sugar cookies!
Not necessarily a holiday treat but a favorite is monkey bread. We always made it Christmas morning, before presents or anything else.
Christmas is not Christmas without a Trifle. (Here in South Africa we have a summer Christmas and it is usually extremely hot, so anything cold is a must)
Also my kids love making gingerbread houses for Christmas.
It’s not Christmas here without buckeyes and rum balls.
Nutella French Toast is a winner at our house! I’m definitely fal-la-la-ling for this super cute giveaway as much as I am for the holidays! Thank you for taking the time to do something so wonderful!

We don’t have Christmas cookies but every year my mum would make a Scottish trifle for dessert on Christmas day which I’ve continued with my own family 🤤. I’m not going to get any this year because I was diagnosed with coeliacs disease and haven’t been able to find a gluten free sponge to make it with 😭 so we’re have meringue nests with strawberries and ice cream instead.
