Christmas is closing in fast, barely a month to go. What are some of YOUR personal favorite christmas cookies to make, eat and share with loved ones? Any recipes you'd be willing to share here? Perhaps a family recipe? Or maybe just something somewhat unique to your country?I am going to bake cookies for the first time on my own this december, and I have no recipes (My mother bakes every year, but never shares the recipes).

>>21731880the best christmas cookies should look really complicated but actually be really easy. I got good reviews on this last year: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1024781-neapolitan-checkerboard-cookies?unlocked_article_code=1.2k8.Y4MO.AZDbgC5KJTAW&smid=share-url I made a version with just chocolate/vanilla and it was quite simple
>>21731880Anisbredele (green anise cookies) are my absolute favorite, but tricky to get them right. I really like the cookie+filling combo : butter cookie+jam, vanilla cookie+salted butter caramel etc. Always impressive but easy to do.I usually make around 20 different variety each year plus a few extra experiments and gift them to friends and family because I always end up with way too much.
>Pfeffernüsse>Macaroons>Shortbread>Millionaire Shortbread>Sugar Cookies>Seven Layer Bars>Crinkle Cookies>Meltaway Cookies (Eggnog and Mint)>Snickerdoodles>Pumpkin OatmealI make a lot of stuff for the holidays.

I make these no bake chocolate, oatmeal, peanutbutter cookies every christmas. They are always voted the best over the more traditional cookies in the workplace but people try them last because they are ugly as sin. At this point I get trapped every year making them. They aren't hard to make but geez.
