I took a poll in our family asking each family member to tell me their favorite Christmas cookie and I would bake those cookies this year for Christmas. Well, of course, each person chose a different cookie. The top picks are as follows: Jeff - Molasses/ Becky - Peanut Butter Cup Tartlets / Micah - Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies / Anna - Chocolate Doozies. Oh, yes - I forgot my favorite - Iced Butter Cookies. For years, I searched high and low for the perfect "sugar cookie". I tried more recipes over the years than I care to remember and most were very good, but not THE one. I wanted a tender, light, slightly salty, not too sweet, similar to shortbread type of cookie and I finally found (after a few minor tweaks of my own) my ideal. If these Iced Butter Cookies are in the house, I have to be very, very careful:-)
