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). Pic related are some of my favorites, though these were not made by me or my mother ofc.
>Cinnamon cookies
>Sirupsnipper
>Brune pinner
>Krumkaker
>Sandnøtter
>Kakemenn
>Havreflarn
>Kransekake
>Saudakjeks
You probably have equivalents.
>>
>Shortbread
>Molasses cookies
>Chocolate chip
>Sugar cookies
>Zimtsterne
>Gingerbread/Gingersnaps/spice cookie/peppernut whatever
We always made caramel and fruitcake too

the 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

Anisbredele (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.

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.

Yeah I'm definitely trying my luck on some of these. How long do they last before they go bad though? And can you freeze them without ruining them?
>>
>>21732381
My aunt made these a lot when I was a kid, they're pretty good
>>
>>21733401
Im not sure how well some of the filled ones hold up when frozen but for the most part you can freeze them for several weeks and they are fine.
>>
>>21733408
Oh nice. Is that the case for cookies and shortbread in general? Maybe skip the powdered sugar on some until right before serving for example, if they are supposed to have that?
If I can freeze most kinds of cookies with few issues, then that's exciting. Means I can start well ahead of the christmas rush
>>
I don't know any that are good but that's probably because I'm from a country with fucking garbage cookie culture and our traditional cookies are shit.
I live in America now, though, so I'm watching the thread to see what cookies are worth eating.
My mum deep fried doughnuts and struffoli at Christmas. Struffoli are horrid but who doesn't like doughnuts?>>21732130
lmao
That's one of the traditional cookies I was talking about. Terrible, dry hunks of shit.
>>
>>21733412
Oh yeah, I do it every year and mom did it before that. I do not make a lot of jam ones but jam does freeze well so the issue you might have is them getting smooshed or smeared and freezing in odd shapes that are not what you want them to look like.
>>
>>21733417
Oh man thank you so much. This makes this a lot more managable, I've been putting it off for a while because I assumed it was very important to time it right with the holidays, and putting in a lot of effort to not only decide what to make but also figure out when, only to have them go bad because they didn't get eaten up in time would be depressing.
Maybe this is some retardedly low bar of knowledge, but yeah, thanks. This is exciting now.
>>
>>21733425
No worries. You should have no problem with decorating them and freezing for the most part. Just be careful with how you layer them in the freezer. It is hard to mess up butter, sugar, and flour so they are always fine. Most issues I have are the cookies freezing and something getting put on top of them so they are bent/smashed or when they come out of the freezer they sweat a bit from being cold and condensation forming on them so just watch for that.
>>
>>21733427
Duly noted. I have a bunch of old plastic containers I never get to use, those would be perfect for this. Maybe make some spacers and stack and elevate them without them touching anything. Man I have so many ideas now

>>21732381
I always forget about these, are there any other good no bake cookies ya'll like?
>>21731880
I like them all, but my top three are iced sugar cookies, those chocolate ones I mentioned up top and those wedding cookies? that are shaped more like a ball and rolled in powdered sugar after baking. pecans or walnuts in there I think.

I dabble in changing things up. Butterscotch/caramel instead of chocolate, cereals or chow mien noodles instead of quick oats. Not much else to really do tho. Rice crispies and cornflakes work best imo. But the original is the best imo.

>>21733401
Most of Christmas cookies hold up pretty well in a air tight container or a metal box. They taste obviously better a few day after baking, but they're still good months after depending on the variety.
>>21732183
Tried something like those one year, and they were dry as fuck and exuded butter a few day after baking so the sugar was yellowish and sticky, never again.
>>
>>21735533
How does something like a cookie with a dash of say strawberry jam keep in an airtight box? The ones you can buy in a store lasts for months, but is that jam filled with preservatives and can't be compared?
I wanted to make some using a variety of jams, but Idk

They start to sog quite fast, but they usually end up being eaten first so it's okay. They are still good though, but not really crunchy anymore.
Cooking the jam a second time can help to reduce moisture and make the filling less runny.
I've seen people talking about using gelatin, pectin or agar agar too, but I didn't try it myself.
Store bought are pretty dry to begin with, so maybe if you use a lowfat recipe it may help with the conservation.
>>
>>21737910
Hmm I see. Probably decent candidates for freezing then maybe? Or would that just speed up the sogginess?
>Cooking the jam a second time can help to reduce moisture and make the filling less runny.
>I've seen people talking about using gelatin, pectin or agar agar too, but I didn't try it myself.
I might try a few doing both while I'm at it. Thanks

>>21738061
Never tried to freeze cooked cookie dough, my guess is it doesn't really work, but you can always shape and freeze them flat. Then pop them in the oven, they don't take long to cook.
Oh, if you can get your hand on some silica gel, it works wonder at keeping them crunchy.

/pol/ here, cookies are bad for you.
>>
>>21737261
Here's an even simpler recipe. Just melt the butter and peanut butter together in the microwave in a pyrex bowl, whisk in everything else but the coconut/pecans then stir those in. Scoop onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and chill. Of course you can use oats instead or in addition to the coconut/pecans as long as the sum total of chunky bits is roughly 190 grams. Also highly recommend toasting them first.

I made basic ones with butter, sugar, eggs, flour, lemon zest and vanilla. More or less the same recipe dough for Mailänderli. I will make them tomorrow. This dough is so thick you form small balls that you squish with the iron.
But yeah there is variety.

I'm sure the krumkaker iron works with bricelets recipes.

I'd say check up some youtube videos, for me it's easier when there's a visual element to a recipe because you can actually see the technique applied.

I know a lot of people shit on Youtube but it's a good source for someone who is starting to cook or bake. Lot of detailed videos with do's and don'ts and will save you money and time by teaching you what are the most common mistakes.

Does the jam have to be really thick? Could you use something like gelatin powder to thicken it up a bit?

Tonight'’s batch of Anisbredele.

>>21758620
Bredele are french specially from Alsace whereas Mailänderli are swiss.
Mailänderli always has vanilla, i used two beans in >>21755063. Sometimes you can add lemon zest as i also did. They don't use baking powder.
Butterbredele has no vanilla and a more butter forward taste. These ones have lemon juice and lemon zest. They're half as thick (0.5mm) as the Mailänderli (10mm) but also have baking powder.
Schwowebredele have cinnamon and almond flour. I roasted it to have even more flavour. They also have baking powder.
The ratio of sugar/butter/flour differs from one another making the mouthfeel different.
Make all of them, put them in a tin box and enjoy variety.

How long does powdered sugar and egg white glaze last before going bad, in practice?

A quick google search says 1-2 weeks, but is that a very conservative estimate? Because there are cookie recipes for example that says they last maybe a month in a container, but taste and smell just fine like 4 months after at least. Not too many years ago I even found some that were made 12 months before, and I couldn't tell by looking at them or smelling them.

Now I'm just wondering how long these last before they go bad. I think I'll play it safe and throw them in the freezer for two weeks

Also, good suggestion. Especially since I bought an ice cream machine not too long ago. Will do that if I fuck up again and can't salvage it

I plan on making chocolate mint cookies, but I'm not sure if I should use these "Andes" chips or these mint chips from Amazon. I like the Amazon ones for the aesthetic I have planned, but the Andes are much cheaper.

I am schizo about things going bad. Was hospitalized once for eating something. Was that icing made with water or egg whites?

Most cookies doughs do pretty well frozen, you can just make a shit ton of dough, freeze it and the portion it out and bake whenever you want to use it.
>>
>>21755205
Slice and bake cookies are a good place to start since you don't have to worry about shaping the individual cookies
>>
>>21762698
Did you want extra chocolate flavor? The Andes seem mostly like other mint chips (mint flavored sweet palm oil with some milk powder) except the also have that chocolate flavored bit
>>
>>21755063
how come no rye flour?

>Was hospitalized once for eating something.

>>
>>21762926
I wanted the chocolate to be in the cookie and the mint to be in the chip, a perfect balance. But if I cannot find any pure mint chips then the Andes won't be too bad I suppose.

Made whatever these are too. Checkerboard shortbread?`
I just decided to roll them up like this instead. The dough did NOT like that one bit. It was extremely crumbly so that was a pain. I pulled it off though

>>21762821
Those will be long gone before the end of the weekend. But around one month no problem but it depends on where you keep them..
How long do you plan to keep them?

>3dl sugar
>190g butter
>2 eggs
>2 teaspoons baking powder
>2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
>4dl +4 tablespoons flour
>1-2dl almonds
>100g chocolate
>Cover in plastic wrap and leave in fridge over night
>Bake for 10 minutes 200C
There's a little interpretation involved on my part, as she used "cup" as a measuring unit. As in a coffee cup she had, which I don't. I'm fairly certain I cracked the code that that is around 2dl though. If parts of the recipe seems a little weird that's why
>>
>>21764977
>3dl sugar
>2dl almonds
>4dl +4 tablespoons flour
yes i would like one liter of sugar, 2dl of almonds, and 15ml of cloud

>100g chocolate
how come the chocolate is not in a metric unit of volume?
>>
>>21764980
Huh?
3 Deciliter sugar, not a liter.
>how come the chocolate is not in a metric unit of volume?
Because we have a specific chocolate brand we use here that comes in 100g plates, and I didn't feel like measuring it by volume right now.
>>
>>21764985
why can't ang*os into measuring units?
you use mass for sugar, almonds and flour not volume just like you did for chocolate.
300ml sugar makes no sense whatsoever
>>
>>21764996
1 and a quarter cups sugar :^)
>>
>>21765000
>still usings volume for solids

>>21765012
At least cups doesn't sound as retarded as deciliters of almonds.

Test batch of dough made for this. I decided to just buy almond bark vanilla and melt it and add green food coloring and mint to it, which worked well enough. However I fucked up the dough recipe by mixing the sugars in with the dries instead of the butter. The recipe says the dough should be sticky but it isn't, and I'm guessing it's because of that? This is my first time baking cookies from scratch so I'm not really sure what the right course of action for this is.

all that time on the chips when you could have gotten great value mint chips.
hopefully they turn out good enough, post result pics

my icing for sugar cookies is too unhealthy. and I was hoping for something similar without all the crisco.
it's just a 4 ingredient icing, crisco, powder sugar vanilla and a splash of milk.
I don't know much about icings and I like the neutralness of crisco, so I don't want to just sub butter
please help

I TRIED! I live quite a distance away from a Wally World but I made the trek to it anyway and they didn't have 'em, and this fucking monster brick of vanilla will last a while.
But I am pleased to announce that even with my fuckups and improvs these cookies came out perfectly, just the taste and texture I wanted them to be. Just want to make them bigger and save some chunks to place on top of the cookies for better aesthetics next time. For a first attempt at baking cookies from scratch, I could have done much worse I suppose.
