Christmas is one of my favorite holidays, and seasonal cookies are one of my favorite things. As probably everyone who reads this blog knows, for the past couple years, I celebrated the season by baking cookies for my co-workers every work day leading up to Christmas, aka the "12 days of cookies". It's that time of year again, and thanks to Black Friday sales and generous PILs, I have a shiny new KitchenAid Pro 600 to make absurd quantities of cookies.
Friday isn't the "traditional" ideas posting day, but I've also missed several Saturdays, and I'm planning to get started with the cookie dough baking tomorrow. So this Ideas Post is all about cookie ideas. I have so many sticky notes in Dorie's Cookies that it's almost like I want to bake all 300+ kinds of cookies she describes.... every cookie I've made so far from this book has been somewhere on the spectrum of good (multigrain chocolate chip cookies) to outstanding (molasses-ginger cookies).
If you're new to reading this blogging and wondering why you're reading about cookie ideas instead of cookie recipes, the answer is I semi-regularly poll people for their opinions on what recipes I should make next. So these votes will translate into posted cookie recipes (soon)!
Vote for what cookies ideas I should try first!
A) Snowy-topped Brownie Drops
B) Pecan-Butterscotch Shortbreads
C) Maple-Star Anise Cookies
D) Zan's Birthday Cookies (German Chocolate Cake translated into cookies)
E) Pistachio-Berry Slims
F) Espresso Chocolate Sables
G) Coffee-Cardamom Cookies
H) Coconut-Lime Sables
I) Old Bay Pretzel-and-Cheese Cookies
J) Honey-Blue Cheese Madeleines
K) Bee's Sneeze Nuggets (lemon, ginger, honey, black pepper, gin flaky cookie/biscuits)
L) White Chocolate and Poppyseed Cookies
M) Moroccan Semolina and Almond Cookies
N) Double Ginger-Molasses Cookies
O) Ms. Corbitt's Pecan Cake Fingers
All from Dorie's Cookies
Wow! That’s an overwhelming list! I will vote for A, D, F, I and O. You give me too many choices, I give you too many votes 🙂 top onf us that German cake into cookie idea, intriguing.
I vote for A, F and N (agree with M-E about voting for more than one!) 😉
My votes are D and M. Dan also gives a vote this time which is F!
We wish you a happy baking season. Just this weekend we made some cookies as well, some rather ordinary Christmas cookies though.
The majority vote seems to have been for F, then D & A. F (the brownie drops) are uber chocolatey. Trying A and D tomorrow!
