I don’t normally make cookies because I hate dealing with the batter, but I make maple cookies every year. They’re like what would happen if a snickerdoodle and a pancake had a baby, and they’re awesome.
I’m going to make gingerbread cookies with chemistry-themed cookie cutters and give them nuclei and electrons made of M&Ms. :-)
I always make my mom some kind of cookie with lots of almond flavoring and/or crushed almonds in it. I try to mix it up every year by finding a different almond cookie. I think this year I will try some good old almond horns.
I also always make ginger cookies with candied ginger pieces in them. But maybe some cocoa-spice cookies are in order soon…. mmm…. cocoa and spice… Dammit, why can’t I make cookies at work?
Ginger cookies sound yummy! :)
My favorite holiday cookie is actually not a cookie. My favorite is grasshopper brownies–brownies topped with a layer of creme de menthe frosting and a layer of melted chocolate chips on top. :) They are served once all the layers are set and are SO GOOD. I also like making sugar cookies and tramp cookies because they are both traditional in my family, but the grasshopper brownies are the best! :)
Oh I love minty things– those sound delicious!

This recipe is pretty close to my family’s recipe, only we don’t put any nuts in ours. If you want to make it easier, you can use a boxed brownie mix instead of making the brownies from scratch and just add the layers separately. :)
