Christmas Cookies Recipes & Videos *Tested Recipes* Joyofbaking.com. Most of us have favorite cookie recipes that we like to bake at holiday time.
They are the ones we look forward to baking and serving as they are part of our family traditions and invoke pleasant memories.

So I hope you will browse through these cookie recipes and give a few a try. Notes on Storing Cookies: Freshly made cookies always need to be cooled completely before storing in airtight containers or the cookies will become soft from the steam they produce while they are still warm. Notes on Cookie Containers: For gift giving try to choose a container that matches the personality or hobbies of the recipient. Candy Bar Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwiches. Candy Bar Cookies?
Have I gone mad? Well, no but was craving some chocolate….sorry for those of you who are so good and still dieting I used the same technique I’ve been using with those giant Oreo Stuffed Cookies and am just loving it. Ooey Gooey on the inside and perfectly buttery crisp on the outside, just how I like it! I would highly recommend that you use the exact cookie dough recipe I have written below. I used 3 of my favorite snack size candy bars as pictured above. First up, Reeses Peanut Butter Cup….my absolute favorite :) Place a nice big scoop on top and… …..a nice big scoop on the bottom Use both hands to press and seal edges. Do the same with your Snickers, one giant scoop on top, one on bottom…press and seal edges! Same story for your Kit Kat Bar. Ready for the oven. Bake at 350 degrees F, 14-16 minutes!

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe. Crazy Domestic: Melted Snowman Cookies. I saw a picture of these the other day on Allrecipes.com and thought it was such a cute idea, I had to try it.
After googleing it, I found a good tutorial on Stacy's Sweet Shop. I modified a few things to make it more simple for me (less homemade more store bought). To see the original Melted Snowman Cookie, and meet the inventor herself, go check out Meaghan (great name) @ The Decorated Cookie! Homemade Girl Scout Cookies: Thin Mints. Thin Mints are the Girl Scouts’ best selling cookies – although Samoas, Do-si-dos and Tagalongs have their fans, too – when they have their annual cookie sale.
Even though they’re a wonderfully tasty combination of mint, chocolate and crispiness, there are a couple of good reasons not to buy them no matter how tempting they seem. First, only a small portion of the cookie sales go to the troops, and as the prices rise, the cookies themselves shrink. I’d rather donate to my local chapter and know where the money is going. Second, the cookies are still made with partially hydrogenated oils, which means that they contain trans fats despite the fact that the boxes proudly proclaim “zero trans fats per serving!” Eat two servings, and those trans fats will start to add up. I’d much rather make my own. Once baked, they are dipped into a dark chocolate coating. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder and salt. In a microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate and butter. Homemade Samoas « Yeah, that’s right.
I made homemade Samoas. OK, so these are a bit more time-consuming to make than your average cookies (there are a few assembly-related steps), but they are so worth it. Because Girl Scouts don’t come along nearly often enough. And – no joke – they taste even better than the originals. Plus: how great would these be as Christmas gifts? I found the Samoas recipe on BakingBites; you can also find recipes for Thin Mints, Do-Si-Dos, Tagalongs, and Trefoils. What you need: For the cookies: 1 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup sugar 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp vanilla extract up to 2 tbsp milk.
Chewy Lemon Sugar Cookies « The Craving Chronicles. Last week I found myself with an excuse to bake something sweet for work.
I always jump at the chance to force share my baked goods with other people, mostly because it means I won’t have to eat them all myself. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make sure my pants still fit – unless it takes running, then forget it. I’ll just buy bigger pants. We were having pizza for lunch, so I wanted to go with something a little sweet, Spring-y, and not too rich… like Lemon Sugar Cookies. Chocolate Chip Banana Cookies. Soft Pumpkin Cookies. Pumpkin is a wonderful vegetable that is too often limited to the fall months.
With the advent of commercial canning, home cooks everywhere can enjoy the wonders of pumpkin-y baked goods any month of the year. Which actually makes more sense, since pumpkin is low in fat, high in nutrition, and gives baked goods tons of moisture without needing to add a ton of oil or butter. Tons of deliciousness, and even better the next day, as the spices blend together.
