christmas cookie poll

what's your favorite?
Y'all know I can't list them all here so if yours is not on the list say so...
Mine are these little candy cane shaped cookie. They have no taste (oatmeal, flour, butter, vanilla)..... then you add this very simple powered sugar glaze (in red and white of course) and everything changes!

1. I love russian tea cakes

In fact, I'm baking some tonight! :). I've got 4 neighbors that I'm friends with but I really couldn't think of what to buy them that they would like, and that I'd feel right giving- so I bought cute little Christmas tins from Marsh, and colored plastic wrap, and I'm baking oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and russian tea cakes- and I'm going to toss in some chocolates, too. :D

3. I too am in the cyclical greek cookie hell tonight.....

Extra vanilla is yummy and makes them less dry..... i have found

8. Thanks for the tip!

This is my first time making russian tea cakes~ I've baked all sorts of other cookies, but never these. I just remember how much I loved them as a girl and figured, hey, why not bake a batch of these so I can eat what's left over! Lol. :D

12. Sweet memories

I can't eat cookies any more, but I fondly recall making tons and tons of gingerbread people.

13. Trying a new one this year.

Sugar cookie dough with white chocolate chunks, dried blueberries, dried cherries and dried cranberries. Very pretty and are supposed to be good-sweet and tart at the same time. Otherwise, I like shortbread and almond crescents.

14. Mmmm...other...

...so delicious...

Er, seriously, the pressed cookies from Bluebonnet Bakery in Fort Worth. Since I can't get there, I'm trying out a simple sugar cookie recipe this season - I've got lots of holiday cutters.
