This year I am organizing a cookie exchange with women from church. Everyone makes several dozen of their favorite holiday cookie. Then we all get together and trade cookies. You walk away with a whole variety of yummy cookies without having to do all the baking yourself.
My favorite holiday cookies are not only delicious, but they also evoke memories. Due in part I'm sure to the idea that I only make them around the holidays. A holiday favorite for me, taught to me by my mother-in-law, are Nut Tassies. They're like minuture pecan pie bites. Very southern, very yummy! For my chocolate fix, there is nothing like a chocolate crinkle cookie - nice and chewy with a sprinkling of powdered sugar.
The cookie that I always want to make, but can never seem to get quite right is the classic sugar cookie. So I'm putting it out there - Does anyone have a favorite sugar cookie recipe that they swear by? What makes it so good?
