| I will start this thread off with:
Sour Cream Sugar Cookies
2C Sugar 1C Butter 2 Eggs 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla 1C Sour Cream 1 tsp Baking Soda 1 tsp Baking Powder 1 tsp Salt 5C Flour
Mix sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla and sour cream in large bowl. Gradually add in flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Put some flour down on flat surface and roll out dough and cut. You may need to add more flour to roll without it being sticky. Heat oven to 375. Decorate as you like!
P.S. the dough is very tasty. Try not to eat it all before cooking.
I use a homemade buttercream icing.
1/2C Solid Shortening 1/2C Real Butter 4C Powder Sugar 2TBS Milk (if too thick, add additional TBS) 1TBS real Vanilla Extract
Cream butter & shortening. Add vanilla, gradually add powder sugar and milk |

I don't think it matters.. The last time I made them I stored them at room temp. I have used Captian Morgan rum when making them it adds to the favor. |

| Not cookies, but a few people requested this so here it is! Here's the recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate-Toffee Muffins! 3/4 c sugar 1/4 c vegetable oil 2 eggs 3/4 canned pumpkin 1/4 c water 1 1/2 c flour (I used bread flour which helped with the rise at altitude baking) 3/4 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp ground cloves 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 c Heath chocolate toffee bits Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix sugar, oil and eggs. Then add pumpkin and water. In separate bowl, mix dry ingredients except toffee bits. Add wet mix to dry mix and stir, then add toffee bits. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full and bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Makes 12 muffins. _________________ |

| So, I bake cookies like it's my job... every day of December, I'm baking a new cookie. It's my catharsis after dealing with craziness every day. Yesterday I made these Spiced Eggnog cookies. HOLY CRAP! If you like eggnog, you HAVE to make these. SO yummy!!! I took them to work today and people were asking for the recipe all day Eggnog Cookies 2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup butter, room temperature 1 cup eggnog 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 4 egg yolks 1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg (plus more for garnish) 3 cups flour 2 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Eggnog Drizzle 1 ½ cup powdered sugar 6 tablespoons eggnog 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare 2 baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk until well mixed. In the bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed, cream sugar and butter until well light and fluffy (approximately 3 minutes). Add eggnog, vanilla, and egg yolks; beat on medium speed until you have a smooth consistency. Add flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined.
Using a 1 tablespoon scoop, drop onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart . Bake for 9-11 minutes until slightly golden brown around the edges. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, prepare the eggnog drizzle in a medium bowl. Combine the powdered sugar, eggnog and vanilla. Whisking until well combined and smooth. Drizzle over cookies and then sprinkle with fresh grated nutmeg. Serve and enjoy!

Watch them carefully, they burn easily, I normally leave them 12 mins in my oven I'm updating this. Chris saw something on TV that made these even better. When you take these out of the oven, and they are still warm and soft, push a Reeses peanut butter cup (mini one) directly in the middle of them. It will melt in and then solidify when it cools. I gave my boss a cookie-gasm with those. |

| Alright, today is gonna be a baking day. Gonna do the peanut butter cookies, snicker doodles, and definitely gonna try those eggnog spice ones for something a little different and new. Here is one of my holiday favorites that is always a hit!
Crazy Yummy Cranberry Pecan Cookies with Orange Glaze
INGREDIENTS: Cookie: 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup butter 3/4 cup white sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 eggs 1 cup chopped pecans 1 cup rolled oats 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Ocean Spray® Craisins®) Glaze: 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 1 orange, zested 1 tablespoon butter
DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. 2. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, white and brown sugars, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until the mixture is creamy and well blended. Beat in eggs, one at a time, and then gradually beat in the flour just until the mixture makes a soft dough. Stir in the pecans, rolled oats, and cranberries, and drop by heaping spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. 3. Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are set and the edges are slightly brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 1 minute on baking sheets before removing to wire racks to finish cooling. Glaze cookies while still a little warm. 4. Place the confectioners' sugar and orange juice in a microwave-safe bowl, and stir to dissolve the sugar. Stir in the orange zest and butter, and microwave on medium power until the butter melts and the mixture is warm, about 30 seconds. Stir the warm glaze until smooth, and drizzle over cookies. |
