I know huff post, but when I was a kid, there were always gingerbread men on the table, and I would spit out the raisins, one aunt made them with chocolate chips.

Have fun, and Merry Chistmas.

Sorghum molasses cookies are the best for any occassion.

The best? The ones my Grandmother used to make. I miss those. I miss my Grandmother

1. My wife's cookies.
2. My wife's 2nd type of cookies.
3. My wife's 3rd type of cookies.

Spitzbuben rawks.

Simple is often better, when it comes to Christmas Cookies.
That means something like Sugar or Shortbread Cookies, lightly sprinkled with that special sparkly, colored sugar.

You can use Vanilla, lemon or almond extract and/or cinnamon.
You can use food coloring just for kicks.
You can use a basic round cookie shape, or get creative with cookie cutting tools.

Pros: Pleasant flavor and aroma, small snack size.
Cons: The colored sugar ALWAYS falls off, onto the nibblers’ garments. Use egg to help prevent cookie from crumbling.

That!

Divinity and fudge. My mom used to make them every year, along with lots of others; but they were always the first to go.

I would spit out the raisins

Smart reaction!

Yep, simple better. Danish cookies #1. Pecan in middle for adults, colored gum drops for the kids

[Omnivore-Dan]

What? No chocolate ship walnut cookies? Gotta have them.

[22for22]

Oh, I don’t mean those Dansk things in a can. Proper Danish cookie is thin. Shape with the base of a glass wrapped in linen. Slightly brown edges when done

[DallasBiff]

LOL! I hate raisins.

Snowball Cookies, aka, Mexican Wedding Cookies, Russian Tea Cakes. A butter cookie shaped into a ball, either flavored with vanilla or almond extract, and then coated in powdered sugar after baking. Can be plain or with chopped pecans added to the dough.

Spritz is similar and a close second.

Mexican Wedding cookies are my faves. Love them.

[rlmorel]

Hahahahahaha

[UnwashedPeasant]

Raisin haters can send their oatmeal-raisin cookies to me.

[metmom]

Our OLD family Christmas cookie recipe for cut out anise Christmas cookies.

The recipe is very simple and NEVER fails.

I like em. I call raisin bread “fly bread” because the raisins look like flies were embedded into the bread.

[Inyo-Mono]

Lol! I hate raisins in anything, I love bran flake cereal but not raisin bran.
