Every year, my husband's family does a year-end all-night board and card game fest, and there's usually a food theme. One of the things I'm expected to contribute each year are the cookies, because no matter what the theme (this year it's "comfort food"!), you gotta have cookies. I try to hit everybody's favorites and then also make a few new ones. And then this year is my first year to do Christmas cookies to give out, so ... basically, starting today, probably, I'm gonna be a cookie making fool. I haven't decided on a final list, but below I've listed some of the ones I plan to make (links to the recipes if they're online). These are all tried and true, good stuff.
Like I said, though, I'm still on the lookout for a few new ones. (I'd also like to find that magical, possibly mythical sugar cookie recipe that has a nice chewy texture, not cakey or fluffy at all.) So I thought maybe this would be a good place to share our favorite cookies. Because cookies.
Soft Ginger Cookies. I got this out of a church cookbook that I bought at a garage sale, I think. They're so good. I'll post or PM the recipe if anyone wants it.
Cranberry Hootycreeks. Make a great jar gift, but also, just as a cookie they're very good.
Salted Caramel Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies. A BIG favorite with people who like cookies with a lot of stuff in them. I don't crush the pretzels but rather break them into about half-inch pieces.
Oatmeal Scotchies. SO's favorite, but he doesn't get them very often at all.
Dang. I thought I had a bigger list than this. I'm gonna need more cookies.
