Ann Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Christmas Cookies.... Do you like them with icing or no icing??? And...while we're on the subject of goodies, what's your favorite Christmas cookie and candy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 OK...this one is easy for me, as I spent all of yesterday afternoon in the kitchen baking cookies and making candy. So...my taste buds were all revved up for this question. Cookies....definitely not iced. I grew up on cookies with no icing, as my grandmother had very little money and the sugar for the icing was a big expense. So...I love the cookies plain, as they remind me of my grandmother. My favorite cookies are either Snickerdoodles or oatmeal Raisin. I don't think I can choose. My favorite Christmas candy is a chocolate covered cherry...or maybe peanut buttr balls. Can you tell that I just love sweets??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 No icing on the cookies. For many years I made 12 different kinds......until 2004 when I was consumed with LC fear and didn't care much. Made none last year either. 12 kinds make beautiful large trays, but since we are both retired we have not enough people to give them away to.....so yesterday I made Fred's 2 favorite kinds. Usually I wouldn't even let him have any. Not now.....told him he could eat all he wanted. The favorites....his and mine........almond diamonds and chocolate walnut. Candy......those peanut butter balls sound pretty good, Ann. But Hershey kisses with almonds are good enough for me. Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogfam Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Ok, sugar cookies, iced or not... I just love them! Especially when my mom made the chocolate icing herself... mmmmmm I usually make the dipped pretzels, fudge, and haystacks every year. (what we call haystacks are the chow mein noodles coated in butterschotch or chocolate chips with or w/o peanuts... yumm!!) Now, my aunt makes wonderful coconut balls and peanutbutter balls. DELICIOUS! I think I'm ready to make my candy now! thanks Ann!! C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 The only cookies I make at Christmas are for my friends, all the dogs I meet in the park, so no icing. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 What a sweet thing to do, Jackie! I've always known you were a really special person. I'm sure all those little guys are eagerly awaiting your walk in the park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bev'sSister Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Being from Louisiana, I would have to say my favorite candy would be Pecan Pralines and also Chocolate fudge. I am not much of a cookie eater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I'm not real big on candy. I love the iced gingerbread cookies, the iced sugar cookies and snickerdoodles are a favorite too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztweb Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Frosting...lots and lots of frosting! My fave....almond bark dipped pretzels (My husband thinks I am crazy!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geri Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 No favorites on the cookies but have to have chocolate covered cherries......don't touch them for 11 months of the year but can hose down a huge box in no time! Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I missed the candy part the first round. At Christmas, gumdrops are my favorite, although malt balls are a close second. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwen, Daddy's girl Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 No Icing Spritzgebackene - lots of hazelnuts and some lemon zest, not too sweet. Chocolate covered cherries - the ones with kirchewasser (cherry brandy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnmynatt Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Charlie's favorite was chocolate covered cherries. I always got them for him for Christmas, Valentine's Day, Our Anniversary and his birthday. My favorite is the chocolate peanut clusters in the cookbook. I also like sugar cookies--both iced and un-iced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracyD Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I'm not a big fan of the christmas cookies, but if I have to pick one, I'd say good old Toll House chocolate chip cookies. Candy on the otherhand... I make fudge, peppermint bark and rum balls. I just made five pounds of fudge yesterday and one tray is almost gone. It's a favorite treat for the kids secret santas.
