Christmas Cookies: Open Thread

I know this is random, but I wanted to do an "Open Thread" for a couple of reasons. First, my blogging has been slow the last few months and I want to "reanimate" life around here  a bit. [Is reanimate the word choice I want? Zombies come to mind.] Second, I like comments, and it allows users to feel "ownership" over the blog a bit, which helps in turn with #1. And finally, a selfish reason, I want some suggestions for some good cookies.

Now, go ahead, let's talk COOKIES! A couple of notes: I really like chocolate and peanut butter, not so much nuts or at least exotic ones, and coconuts are almost ALWAYS A NO! That being said, I don't care what you post about just tell me some of your favorite cookies, and possibly email me a recipe or three. Once we get back to Alaska, if it sounds good maybe I'll have the lovely wife make some of them!

Some of my faves:

• Thumbprint Kisses
• Russian Tea Cakes
• Candy Cane Twists
