I would like the recipe of the cookie on your blog today. Looks great and we have a annual cookie making day with friends this Sunday. This looks like a perfect one to make! Thanks

I couldn’t have said it better myself – I loveeee cookies. Baking them, eating them, eating them while baking them, and giving them away. My sister and mom get together every year just to bake Christmas cookies – the same exact ones every year. I would love to share my favorite recipe with you blog but don’t have the recipe on hand! How long will you be cookieblogging for?

I might actually make an addition to our annual cookie list (if my mom and sister let me!). I made your Bohemian Wedding cake a few weeks ago and had extra molasses on my hands so I made some ginger-spice cookies. They were a hit! I highly recommend them.

and I guess I have to say it.. I love your blog! It’s absolutely adorable. I’m sure I’ll be back everyday to see what cookies your readers are sharing. Happy baking and holidays!

Yipee! I <3 holiday cookie baking!!

Jenna, this post made me cry. My grandmother passed away a few weeks ago and was a fantasic baker. One of her specialities was rosette cookies. After reading that you are planning to make them, I’ve been inspired to try them too. I’m not sure they’ll be as good as grandmas, but I am sure she’ll be looking down at me making them and smiling.

My favorite cookies around the holidays are anise toast cookies. I don’t know why, but it’s the only time my mom ever bakes these. They are subtle and not overly sweet, with a distinct flavor. They are the best warm and soft out of the oven with crispy edges!

Laura

My mom always asks what my favorite cookie is so she can make it when I come home but I can never answer her. My brothers always request kiss cookies which are a staple for my family and Christmas. Last year, my mom and I made snickerdoodles but it was a different recipe (than the ones I’ve normally had) involving almond extract and lemon. It was with that cookie that I got hooked on the almond flavoring and have been searching for the perfect almond flavored cookie every since. Any suggestions? I’d love to bring a recipe home to bake with my mom this Christmas!

Rebecca

I don’t know if these qualify as Christmas cookies, but I would like to see a recipe for rainbow cookies, they are also called tricolor cookies or seven layer cookies. As a kid I would get them all the time from the Italian bakeries in NYC but they do not seem to exist at all down here in San Antonio 🙁

I would love an easy, baker friendly shortbread cookie!
I love shortbread…really buttery and soft!
I married in December-the hotel where we stayed packed us a “to go” box for our honeymoon flight…it was full of the most delicious, buttery shortbread!

Gina

Hi there!

I am interested in trying to make springerle cookies! Can you make those? Pretty please with sugar on top 🙂

Lisa

Let the baking beging. I love making tons of cookies over the holidays, it is one of my favorite things I do all year, and each year I try to add a new cookie to my collection.

I would really like to see Italian anisette cookies, they were a specialty my nonnie used to make, I have have been trying to recreate them, however, I haven’t gotten it quite right yet.

Elise

pinwheels! my mother has mastered the art of getting them to work every time. I, however, cannot.

and to be festive and cultural: alfajores.

Jenn @ LiveWellFitNow

Girl, you crazy! Cookie crazy and I love it.

Will be waiting with baited breath.

Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen

Woo! This will be awesome! 🙂

Kerry

I want to learn how to make a really good macaroon. I also love anything that involves butter, salt and caramel – can you do something with that?

Paj

Pfeffernüsses please.

Cynthia

I love gingerbread too. So delicious!

My grandmother also makes these cookies that are like the little wedding cookies. They are so tasty. They are covered in powdered sugar and have nuts in them. Yummy.

Cathy

So excited to follow along! I’m also plotting my first Christmas cookie baking day of the year. And I’m not sure I can pick favorites, I love them all 🙂

Steph

I LOVE almond crescent cookies – YUMMMMM

Leticia

Pilsbury makes a box of cookies called ‘Almond Crescents’. My mom and I love to have them with coffee on cold winter mornings while I am home from school. If you happen to have a recipe for them, I’d love to learn how to make them at home!

Nelly@CrazySexyFit

PFEFFERNUSSE.

That is all.

Christmas cookies two evenings in a row @ our house! My excuse is I do it for the kids and hubby… well, that’s what I say, anyway!!

Faith @ lovelyascharged

They may not be “holiday” cookies, but I’d LOVE to see white chocolate macademias!

Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga)

So glad you’re in all your cookie glory this month!

Rosettes, a thing of my childhood that i remember my mom freaking out over if they were burning..and they go from fine to charred in about 4 secs flat sometimes.

I too love gingerbread.

And all xmas cookies, caramels, candy, jams & jellies, I grew up in a house with true holiday baking going on and the memories are just great!

🙂

Moravian Spice Cookies!! Have you ever been to Old Salem? I think you would like it.

Rachel

I’ve been a lurker up until now…but I LOVE baking so I had to cast my vote for cookies!

I would vote for anything with chocolate and peanut butter. My mom always makes bon bons (I think some people call them Bonz-eyes) but hers have Rice Krispies in them! Yum!

Hannah L. (Hannah Lives)

The one cookie that I look forward to every holiday season (because I can never get it any other time of year), aside from rosettes (which is definitely a favorite), is Krumkake! Double Yum!!

Something with cherries, coconut and almonds!

Love this post, Jenna . . . made me smile for sure today 🙂

Since this is my first gluten-free holiday season I am attempting to experiment with gluten-free cookies. I made some yesterday that were okay, but not great. If you happen to know of any allergy-friendly recipes, I’d love to see them!!

JessicaEn

Does peppermint bark count?! I hope so 😉

Peggy DiPietro

I try to make one cookie a day all the way up to Christmas day. I have been doing this for years. Just took a batch of Double Chocolate Walnut Biscotti out of the oven. The house smells wonderful! Can’t wait to get some new recipes from you.
