Important: Cookie Recipe Thread!

[NYgirl]

Seriously important!  I need to start doing my holiday baking FAST. Aside from Nestle Toll House cookies (which I will probably eat every damn one), I need some good recipes to make for the kids.

I figure you guys in here represent the largest cross base of people that I know and would make a great worldwide sampling and maybe i could find something different for this year.

IF anybody has any great recipes......can you pass them on?  This will be the first year I"ve had the energy to real bake away since treatment ended and I gotta get going!

I used to have this great lindser tart kind of cookie recipe and can't find it so I'm really in trouble.

Help!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE SNOWY NORTHEAST!
HO HO HO! (No, not talking about me!)

This is what I discovered about cooking with alcohol
The conventional wisdom accepted by just about everyone in the food world is that all the alcohol you add to a dish evaporates or dissipates during cooking. It’s wrong. In fact, you have to cook something for a good three hours to eradicate virtually all traces of alcohol.

I really overtruffled today. I can still feel it but it was worth it, I swear.  

By the way, I used Kahlua instead of Grand Marnier but boiled it first to get rid of the alcohol content.Can you believe I ruined that good stuff just to stay true to tx?

Thank you, JD and EVERYONE for your recipes. They feel like family recipes to me now.

Take your favorite peanut butter recipe and make Rudolph Cookies.They are delicious and look so cute on the cookie trays..Shape dough into triangles.point at bottom.Take small pretzels and insert into the dough at the corners for Rudolphs ears or antlers.
Chocolate chips for the eyes and red or green M&M's for the mouth.
Every cookies face is different.Happy Baking.

P.S. Thank you for all your advice here lately.
