I dont know if this has been started or not, but how about posting your favorite Christmas (or seasonal) cookie recipe. Those of us that would like to try new cookies will have some new recipes to try.

I'm at work so of course I do not have mine with me but I will post one that I make w/ Andes candies when I get home. They were big hit.

Sounds like a great idea! I will post a recipe soon. Also, you can go to www.foodnetwork.com and sign up for their 12 days of cookies Newsletter. They send out a different cookie recipe each day beginning Dec 1 for the next twelve days. I love getting that!!!
