God’s Angel was teasing me all last week with her baking skills and it got me to wondering – what is your favorite Christmas cookie? Do you have traditions surrounding them?

Hi Kim! One cookie in particular came to mind the minute I read this. As a kid, my mom made Pinwheel Cookies which consisted of 2 rolled out sugar cookie sheets, one with red food coloring added to make it pink. Stack the two sheets atop each other and roll up together. After slicing the roll, the cookies totally resembled Pinwheels. As a kid I always expected the pink part to taste different from the white, which of course it did not. Thanks for the childhood memory! What’s your favorite cookie?

Mine was a cookie my Mom made call German chocolate – I have been searching for the recipe for a week now!! They were so good they had to be hidden until Christmas day!!

Suzie – I make those pinwheel cookies!!!! lol
my fav are Starlight Sugar Twists. You keep folding the dough over making many light flaky layers & you apply a sugar & vanilla mixture on each layer. then cut into 4 inch strips & twist & bake. oh yeah!
I also make these sour cream crescent cookies that have cinnamon/sugar & walnuts rolled up into them. I’ve seen my friends figth over these! hahahahahahahhaha
I used to make thousands of cookies & gave as gifts in tins or platters, but i’ve had to cut that way back now. I can’t do those 3 day baking marathons anymore!
Enjoy your cookies ladies!!

1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp. CALUMET Baking Powder
2 cups chopped PLANTERS Walnuts
Make It
HEAT oven to 350°F.
CHOP 8 chocolate squares; set aside. Microwave remaining 8 chocolate squares in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min., stirring after 1 min. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add butter; stir until melted. Stir in sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add flour and baking powder; mix well. Stir in chopped chocolate and nuts. (Note: If omitting nuts, increase flour to 3/4 cup to prevent excessive spreading of cookies as they bake.)
