Which are your favorite <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCoGDzKrfXU">Christmas Cookies</a>?

 
I like George; his music is more traditional than that head-hurtin stuff that comes out of Nashville these days. As for Christmas cookies, I've got a never-fail recipe for bananna nut bread that I like better and make numerous loaves for friends and business associates. It doesn't come out heavy and gummy like the ones I remember from my childhood.
 
Russian Tea Balls! Kinda hard to explain, but they have pecan pieces in them and they are passed thru the powdered sugar TWICE while hot! Greg
 
My favorite is the traditional decorated sugar cookie.
Growing up, my dad had to have the Springerle cookie, which to me tasted terrible and was hard enought to be used as a wheel chock. Luckily, mom didn't make them too often.
 
Those look like the ones my college roommate would bring back from Philly after the holidays. His mom and grandmother made them, and they had a hint of anise in the flavors...and I thought they were GREAT!

And after all these years, I still don't know what they're properly called.
 
Ingredients:

1 cup butter...softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsps baking soda
4 cups SIFTED all-purpose flour
6 large bananas, very ripe, mashed
1 cup finely chopped pecans

Cream together butter and sugar; add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Sift dry ingredients together, add to creamed mixture. Stir in bananas and pecans. Pour batter into 2 well-greased (5 x 9) loaf pans. (I use non-stick pans and lightly coat with cooking spray); bake at 325° for about an hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. (I cover with aluminum foil after about 45 minutes to prevent top from burning.) Makes 2 loaves; remove from pan and let cool; is good either warm or cold.
 
The buckets of free ones given to us by our customers, reminds me most of them are great people and the ones that irritate are actually few and far between.
 
Quick and Easy Fudge....

1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk
12 oz. chocolate chips
1 cup of "whatever" flavor chocolate chips...my favorite is butterscotch.
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix all choc. chips and milk together and melt on low heat.

Add (if you want) cut up pieces of heath bars, snickers, can of maraschino cherries, chopped nuts, chopped candy canes or whatever to the mix.

Pour into an 8"X4" or 8"X8" bread tin lined with aluminum foil. Put in refrigerator.

YUMMIE...done in 10 minutes excluding cooldown. When cooled, just lift out the fudge filled aluminum foil.

Thought they only made one kind of Christmas cookie "Risen filled". At least that's what I look for first then on to nut-horns.

Forgot to mention takes a special iron to make them, much like a reg waffle iron but much thinner
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Purchase premade cookie dough from school children.
Cut into 1" squares( the dough not the children) .

Place on cookie sheet and bake for 10 min!
Enjoy!
 
Hello Nancy Howell,
I don't know how you missed it but here is the story.
I was helpimg with the cooking, and in between flips of the iron i took the pictures.
Just had a chace to get back.

You can see the iron on the stove top.
They are called pizzelle A gas burner is what it is needed.Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

Mom's always made a lot of cookies at Christmas time but my favorite is probably the Anise cookies - she always wanted to wait till they had a slight "crust" around them but my brother and I would eat them fresh whenever we could find where she hid them! Never could stand the fruit cake thoough.
Guess I'm just going to eat the wife's Little Lambs cookies or the Mrs. Fields from clients till I get there for Christmas UNLESSSSS the wife decides to try Guido's recipe!
 
They're all good, but what I look forward to each holiday season are the hand made candies and peanut brittle from scratch!
