Just wondering if you make the same cookies each year, or mix it up a little.  If you answer this poll, can you then tell me what cookies you have to have each year?Thanks!

I can't break tradition!!!  I do add a new one every once in awhile, but sometimes they get into the traditional category, or dumped for the next year..Gingerbread, sugar cookies, peanut butter balls, Cuban lunch, fudge, shortbread...

I bake the same basic cookies every year (Chocolate Chip, Frosted Sugar, Peanut Butter, Cream Cheese, Rice Krispie Treats, Peppermint Creams, Pineapple Coconut, Oatmeal and Buckeyes).  But, I always try a new cookie each year.  If every one likes it, I add it to the list.  This year it will be Bonbon Cookies!

Bake? What's that?Seriously though...I just got into cooking within the past year. Maybe I'll try my hand at a little baking this holiday season. I'm skeered!

I do the traditional for us:  choc chip, peanut butter, sugar, snickerdooles, cherry squares, polvorones & buenulos.  The last two are Mexican treats.And like most every year I try one new receipe.

I like to try new things but generally I make the same core recipes each year.Everyone should share in the recipe forum!

I always make Peppermint Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie Bars, Magic Cookie Bars, 7-Layer Bars, Mint Snow-Top Cookies, Danish Nut Balls, Cranberry Macadamia White Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Keebler Bars, and No-Bakes.  I add others if I want to try them.

Laura, you don't make Buckeyes?I don't even know you anymore.

I like to mix it up in addition to making the basics.  But I ALWAYS make frosted sugar cookies, chocolate chip, and pumkin bread.

I always make the same list then try to add a new one or two.Choc, chip, peanut butter kisses, Italian knots, sugar and cranberry hootycreeks

I ALWAYS make my Poppyseed Twinks.  My DS makes Rum Balls with me for his godfather...my DD makes Peanut Brittle with me for her godfather.Other than that...we try to mix them up some...but always these three are made!

omg Cranberry Hootycreeks is my new porn name.

I buy mine at the store. I love the Archway Cashew Nougat cookies.

LOL! Moody!

I usually do my holiday baking together with my mom and Reba.  We always make sour cream cookies.  Then the usual . . . chocolate chip, peanut butter and whatever strikes our fancy at the time. 

I make the same sugar cookies every year.

I always make frosted sugar cookies (dh's fav), krumkake (my brother's fav), rosettes and  Mexican Wedding cakes; then, if I still feel like baking, I make whatever - choc. chip, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin (my fav)

Cut out cookies for my kids that my mil makes with them.   I do fudge, Peppermint Patties and sometimes Choc Chip. 

I love baking during the Christmas season - it was a family thing in which all of us (parents and 6 kids) participated.  So my favorites that always get put into the list are my dad's fudge, my oatmeal cookies, and pralines.  But then each year I add new things.I'm hoping my husband gets more into this tradition.  His family doesn't have any Christmas traditions - they are so boring!!

I make the same:forgotten cookies, bannana cherry slice, confetti cake , shortbread...............then I add a new one or two!Speaking of this got to get started!
