Important: Cookie Recipe Thread!

[NYgirl]

Seriously important!  I need to start doing my holiday baking FAST. Aside from Nestle Toll House cookies (which I will probably eat every damn one), I need some good recipes to make for the kids.

I figure you guys in here represent the largest cross base of people that I know and would make a great worldwide sampling and maybe i could find something different for this year.

IF anybody has any great recipes......can you pass them on?  This will be the first year I"ve had the energy to real bake away since treatment ended and I gotta get going!

I used to have this great lindser tart kind of cookie recipe and can't find it so I'm really in trouble.

Help!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE SNOWY NORTHEAST!
HO HO HO! (No, not talking about me!)

Remember the Whiners on the old SNL?  They all had diverticulitis ~ so NO popcorn for the Whiners!!!

You make an excellent point.  Popcorn will just clog up the colon!

I love cookies.  So much more fun and interesting and they don't leave a bad taste in your mouth.  MMMGood

That's a great gift idea!  If I can locate the recipe I'll post it.  I mostly make shortbread and roll it thin to make the linzer cookies, then use seedless raspberry preserves and some lemon juice to make the filling.  I'll go look for that recipe, but its mainly butter, sugar, flour, maybe almond extract.  No eggs.  I'll get you the quantities.

My cookie secret.

Step 1..... Go to supermarket
Step 2..... Locate bakery
Step 3..... Pig out on all the samples
Step 4..... I am now sick of cookies
Step 5..... On the way out of store grab a box of oreos

Oh my what a kewl thread!! ;) You said lindzer tarts?? My daughter has been looking for a recipe for 4 years now - can you post that recipe if you have it? Please? Maybe I can put together one of those 'Martha Stewart' type gifts to her with a jar of the dry mix, and some other stuff and tie it with a pretty ribbon with the recipe prettily written on a card attached to the bow!!! Oops - did I get carried away? I swear I was not checking the Don Julio . . .
If you don't have the recipe, is there anyone who does?
