Re: Home Baked Christmas Cookies
I think I have recipe for Oatmeal Raisin cookies at home. If I find it, I'll post later, they are a big hit, more with adults than kids.
Here's a bunch of holiday cookie recipes.

Re: Home Baked Christmas Cookies
I have an easy cookie recipe, but its not christmas related...
Here you go:
Take 2 eggs, put them in a huge bowl and mix it well with a glass of sugar.
Once the mixture is uniform, as you're mixing it, add a glass of regular flower, also, until the mixture is uniform and without chunks.
Next you have an option:
Add a total of one glass of either walnuts, dried cranberries, dried pineapple/papaya, or anything else that you like in your cookies. If you add nuts, it becomes crunchy, and if you add dried fruit, it becomes sticky and gooey.
Your mixture in the bowl by now should be really really sticky. Once the whole thing is uniformly mixed, put some butter/oil on the NONSTICK baking sheet and bake on 450 degrees for about 35-40 minutes. If you see the sides brown, and the top of the cookie sheet has a crusty layer, but still a little soft, its time to take it out...
Take out the tray, and flip it upside down, if cookie mixture sticks, you can just put a cold wet towel on the bottom of the cookie tray, and it should fall out, bottom up.
Now, while it is still hot, take a knife and cut the cookie sheet into actual cookies, or you can use a cookie cutter. The point is, do it white its still hot, b/c otherwise it almost impossible to cut them.
And now your cookies are done. The recipe I gave you can fill up a decent lunch sized box, the kind you would bring your lunch to work in.
Sorry for not having precise amounts, that's how my mom taught the recipe to me. I don't know why she doesn't make the cookies from the start, rather makes a cookie tray first, so don't ask. But they're incredibly yummy, to a point that FH had them once for dinner for two days straight (yes, I mean for dinner, not as a desert)

Re: Home Baked Christmas Cookies
Kate, thanks, it kinda comes out as a mix between a biscotti and an oatmeal cookie. And its super easy to make, the most difficult part is taking the cookie sheet out out of the tray to cut it. I don't know how to make any other kinds of deserts
