Over the past week or so I have been pondering over which cookies I will make for my cookie trays this year. Two years ago I began to carry on my Mom's tradition of making Christmas cookies and giving out trays of them to family and friends. So many cookies, so little time! I usually do not stray to far from a handful of standard ones I make, but I do like to add a few new ones.
As of today, I have eleven different cookies picked out. Seven of them I have made before and four are new this year:
Almond Bars
Maple Logs
Spritz
Sugar Cookies (Stockings & Trees)
Pecan Butter Balls or Cinnamon Chocolate Butter Balls
Chocolate Chip Meringues
Cran Crackle Bars
Peppermint Meltaways
Potato Chip Cookies
Chocolate Nut Wafers
Cranberry Noels
I need your help to decide what the twelfth cookie will be! Leave me a comment with a recommendation (perhaps one of your favorites or a family recipe) of a cookie to add to this year's tray and you will be entered into my giveaway that is being sponsored by cookware.com, a part of CSNStores.com. In your comment let me know what prize you would like Santa to deliver to you.
So what's the prize you ask? The prize will be chosen from Le Creuset, Rachael Ray Cookware, or John Boos.
The choices are:
Le Creuset: A baking dish on this page or this page. (note: due to stock color may vary). Having recently purchased a Le Creuset stock pot and fry pan this brand has become one of my favorites!
Rachael Ray Cookware: Any of the Bubble & Brown Stoneware Bakeware excluding the 3 piece Stoneware Baker set. Click here to view the items. I bought the full set of this line a few months ago and can say it is extremely versatile. I have used the larger size bakeware for making a pork tenderloin and it was perfect for the roast and vegetables. They are great for cooking or baking.
John Boos: 18x12 cutting board. Click here to view. I wish Santa would drop one of these off at my house!!
Entries will be accepted until Monday, Dec 21st at 12 p.m. EST. Good luck and I look forward to seeing some great cookie recommendations!

Everyone's favorite Christmas cookie that I've made this year is Pecan Squares http://www.barbarabakes.com/2009/11/pecan-squares.html. Kind of a cross between a cookie and pecan pie! I would love to win a Le Creuset dish. I don't have any but have been looking at the beauties!
Angel Slices from the Joy of Cooking are always a favorite on our cookie trays. My mom decorates them with red and green sprinkles.
Anything Le Creuset - I love it all! Was just shopping at the outlet yesterday.
For your 12th cookie - I suggest 1/2&1/2s or might be known as Black and White cookie and others call the 1/2 moons.. these are classic the way they are but can also be dressed up for the Holidays .with creative decorations if want.
LeCreuset - would be my 1st choice Thank you
Can you also post the Potatoe Chip Cookie Recipe please
thanks Mary W.
Double chocolate chip
I think torte cookies should round out your collection. If there should be a prize it should be regifted to a worthy someone.

Hey Kathy - I'm not sure this can be done....but what sounds good is peppermint biscotti dipped in chocolate. Maybe the peppermint wouldn't be great with the biscotti cookie, so my other thought is eggnog biscotti....of course dipped in chocolate. ;0) Keep up the great tradition. I admire your passion.
LeCreuset
Hi,
How about a Ginger Snap. They are pretty traditional.
I happen to love John Boos: 18x12 cutting board.
Wow, Kathy, you amaze me. Couldn't go wrong with any of them. They all sound fantastic. Wish I was there!

Hi Kathleen! You could make what I'm making, peanut butter bonbons! Let me know if you need the recipe - it is awesome!
