I enter a giveaway almost every day . . I think they're such a great way to give back to the blogging community that gives so much in terms of inspiration.
Which is why I'm taking part in Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day on December 2.
I have this book on my wish list this year . . I borrowed it from the library a few weeks ago and fell in love! I didn't have a chance to try out any of the projects but I think it belongs on every quilter's bookshelf.
If you win this giveaway, I will order it directly from a bookstore and have it delivered to you. I will also mail a little package of handmade fun. This will include an ornament for sure, but the rest depends on where the winner is from since postage rates can vary and it would be nice if the package could arrive before Christmas.
All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post telling me what your favourite Christmas cookie is . . and a link to a recipe gives you two entries. I need to get started on holiday baking!
Want a third entry? Become a follower of our blog and leave a comment telling me you've done so. (If you're already a follower you get a bonus entry but be sure and let me know.)
The deadline to enter is December 6th. Please include your email with your entry so I can contact you if you win!
Good luck!
- Donna

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 506 Newer› Newest»Lovely blog you have here. I love the quilt in the post just below this one. I am a fellow Canadian but just a beginner in quilting. My favorite christmas cookie is my Grans almond cresents. Yummm. I have the recipe but have yet to attempt them myself.
I'm a follower too. :)
My fave Christmas cookie is the peppermint candy cane. I'm off to search for the recipe...
What a wonderful giveaway! My favorite cookie is actually in the Betty Crocker Cookbook. They make the best cutter cookies (think sugar cookie but so much better).
Sour Cream Cookies
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
2 2/3 cups flour
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
sugar to sprinkle
Divide dough in thirds rolling each third to 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle cut cookies with sugar if you wish and bake @ 425 for 6-8 minutes.
Double the batch because you are going to love them! You can freeze the dough too ;)
Yum!

Hi
Thanks for the giveaway..that is very generous of you.
My favorite cookie is the Russian Tea Cake, I didn't put a link because someone else already did! My son became a vegan last Christmas and this little cookie was a good one to make for him since I just had to change to a soy based butter! And you can add so many different things to it to make it extra special like dried fruits and different nuts...now I'm hungry!!
I think shortbread is always a winner!
I'm a follower!
Another Canadian!! My favorite cook is an will always be chocolate chip. Nothing like a classic!!
My favorite Christmas cookie is the festive Cranberry Cookie. I'm not sure where to get the recipe online. It's great though!!

Wow...what a generous giveaway. My favorite Christmas cookies are Mexican Wedding Cakes!

Merry Christmas!

I love a good Chocolate chip cookie. I love simple.
Austrian Chocolate balls (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Austrian-Chocolate-Balls/Detail.aspx) it's a tradition for me. My family loves them. I have to omit the nuts since my hubby isn't a fan though. I now follow your blog! I love your carnival quilt and love to quilt as well, so you didn't have to twist my arm!
The book looks great... I'm off to see if the Internet bookstore I use most often carries it (although I'll wait to see if I've won!).
Do you know about The Book Depository? It's a British based bookstore that ships to most countries free of charge. Maybe it would be a good idea to check them out before shipping your giveaway ;-)
Thanks for the tip and the opportunity!!

Sugar cookies with lots of icing!
I usually like chocolate chip cookies but at christmas my favourite are the traditional greek cookies covered in powdered sugar...
What a great giveaway. My favorite xmas cookie are those little dutch shortbreads in the tin. They remind me of my grandmother and how she'd buy them for xmas and then use the tins to store sewing notions. memory lane!
This is the nicest, kindest giveaway I've ever seen! You don't even have this book! I hope you get this for Christmas because you more than deserve it.

My favorite holiday treat to make isn't a cookie but maybe this will work for you. I love to make Peppermint Bark. White chocolate, dark chocolate, mixed. Here is a reciepe. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/peppermint-bark-recipe/index.html
But the best way to make it I found it to lay two mini candy canes down in the shape of a heart and fill in the middle. I know it doesn't give the rugged feel of traditional bark but it makes it so easy to dress up in cute little bags as gifts.
I found this recipe last year and they were a HUGE hit with my students at Christmas time.

Thanks for the generous giveaway! Aloha from Hawaii
Hi, I would love the chance to win! I am a newer quilter and I have definitely discovered a passion!
My favorite cookies are my Grammy's Snowball Cookies which are better than any other snowball cookies I have ever had . . . my guess is it is because she uses almost twice the butter that most other recipes call for, he he he.
I will be posting the recipe tomorrow on my blog . . . yummy, melt in your mouth goodness! http://narniamum.blogspot.com
And I've become a follower as well :)
http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/favorite-chocolate-crackle-cookies These are my favorite Christmas cookies. I have made them for the last 4 years. In fact, I am baking them tonight. The freeze well so they can be made in advance!

My current favorite Christmas cookie is Swedish Cardamom Cookie that I discovered in a cookie book I have. The house smells heavenly as they're baking!
My Favorite Christmas Cookie is the Pizzelle. They are very thin round cookies that remind me of snowflakes.
peanut butter oatmeal
I'm a follower
To make Pizzelles you need a special iron (like a waffle iron) and if you have one of those than I am sure you have a recipe. So here is another cookie recipe I just made for thanksgiving and were a huge hit.
White Chocolate, Macadamia nut, Cranberry Cookies
I followed a basic White Chocolate & Macadamia Nut cookie recipe and added 1 1/2 cup of FRESH Cranberries to the dough. Bake 25degrees lower and add a couple of minutes to time cooking (until the berries burst) They are really good.
Favorite Christmas cookie? Definitely chocolate fudge, although that isn't really a cookie (but it usually makes an appearance on cookie platters...)
My favorite christmas cookie is the classic hershey kiss aka Peanut Butter Blossoms. Simple, but they always bring back memories of christmas when I was growing up.

So they're not really cookies as such but my favourite recipe is for Anzac biscuits - they're a staple in NZ, where I'm now living, and they take no time at all to make or cook - the type of baking I like!!! Your giveaway looks great and I would love to be in with a chance of winning. Many thanks. xxx

Here is my current favorite cookie recipe. They ship well and you can eat the dough without worry.(no eggs)
On my son's first day at school, the other kids got to interview him and they later put up his answers on the wall. I loved coming to his classroom and seeing in giant letters that he "loved his moms snickerdoodle cookies"

my all time fave cookie are peanut butter and peanut butter m&m.

What a great prize! My favorite Christmas cookie are my mom's cut outs. They don't even need frosted, well at least in my opinion.
Thanks for the chance to win!

What a fantastic book! Thank you for the chance to win it. My favourite cookies are from Holland and called 'speculaas'. I haven't got a recipe and you can only get them normally in december in Holland.
Sew generous-- thanks for including my entry in the giveaway! My favourite cookie is 'Magic cookie bars' I don't have the recipe, I'm not allowed to have it. I have a special person who makes them for me every year, I really look forward to it and it's the only time of year I get them. She's been doing it since I was a child.
Mmmm... I really like chocolate chips cookies. In Spain, though, our cookies are quite different, and we are not used to fat and chewy dough.
I really love these:

Thanks a lot from sunny Barcelona!
Great contest! My favorite xmas cookies are sugar cut-outs.
Snickerdoodles. I have used this recipe a few times before, and I think it comes out particularly well if you use lard: http://www.bobsredmill.com/recipes_detail.php?rid=820.
They will be chewy and have a wonderful texture.
I think I will check this book out the library myself. Thanks for the tip and the giveaway.
Sorry, I'm oggling your carnival quilt on the post below....
My favorite cookies are frosted, decorated cut-outs made with a butter cookie recipe, not a sugar cookie recipe. This is the recipe I used last year: http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/574/BasicCountryButterCookies67843.shtml
YUM!

Hi,
My favorite Christmas cookie is not a common one: they're slightly sweet, quite hard, anise-flavored cookies. Very good for coffee or tea, or for teething babies :).
Recipe here:

My favorite cookie is an almond flavored sugar cookie made with a cookie press to look like a Christmas tree.

An amazing givaway! My favorite cookie this time of year would be chocolate mint cookies using andies mints. yum.
I tried to find my favourite Christmas cookie recipe online but I couldn't. Basically it's just adding red candied cherries to a shortbread recipe. Yum
What a great book! My favorite cookie is Laura Bush's Cowboy Cookie - except that I add dried cranberries to the mix. Delicious! I have the recipe memorized, so I'll look online for a link.
Okay, here is a link to a recipe for Laura Bush's "Texas Governor's Mansion Cowboy Cookies" - but remember, to make my version you have to add dried cranberries!

I love finding Canadian crafty blogs. (I'm in Montreal) so I've added you into my subscriptions list. My favourite biscuits (I'm actually Australian so find it hard to say cookie) are gingerbread men. I have three daughters and they all love them. Best eaten quickly before little hands have touched them!!
Favorite cookies? I love jam filled cookies. All my recipes are in books though.
I just became a follower as well!
Big, soft molasses cookies!
I'm a new follower, not just for the giveaway either :) Looks like a lovely blog and I can't wait to do some more reading!

I love shortbread cookies! (shaped like candy canes of course!)
This is not necessarily a Christmas cookie, but my mom only made this at Christmas time -kringla (http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,196,145161-224203,00.html) Even though I have had the recipe for many, many years I too only make these at Christmas time! We like them with a bit of butter, but I understand a pat of strawberry cream cheese is wonderful as well! Thanks for participating :)
P.S. I am now also a follower of this blog!
Hah! My husband is in the background yelling "Gingerbread", but I'm more partial to shortbread cookies at Christmas. I need to start baking too!

Thanks for this question. It got me to look up the recipe for the chocolate chip ball cookies that my mom makes that I like. Although, I'm pretty sure we were all outdone by Peanut Butter Bacon above me.

I don't know if it would traditionally be considered a Christmas cookie but I love Rosemary Lemon cookies. The recipe I originally had came from BH&G but this one is the same.

These are sooo yummy too:
Caramel Bars
¾ c. butter, melted
1 c. flour
1 c. oatmeal
¾ c. (packed) brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
32 caramels
3 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp. milk
6 oz. chocolate chips (about 1 c.)
½ c. chopped nuts
Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter, flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, and baking soda and mix well. Put ¾ of the mixture in a 9x13 pan, pressing evenly over the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the caramels, butter, and milk and heat, stirring, until the caramels are melted. Pour the caramel mixture over the crust and sprinkle with the chocolate chips and nuts. Top with the remaining butter-oatmeal mixture. Bake for 15 minutes more. Cool and cut into bars.
I am also in love with all things denyse schmidt and her book. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Gingersnaps. Lots of ginger, not too sweet. I haven't found the perfect recipe yet. But it is a great thing to work toward!
How do you just pick ONE Christmas cookie? Right now I'm on a kick for espresso chocolate snowcaps. . . http://elizabethcarroll.wordpress.com/2009/12/02/chocolate-espresso-snowcaps/ DELICIOUS!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love mexican wedding cookies.
I'm trying to enter all the quilting give aways as I got married this summer and I was hoping that my uncle (who is a great quilter) would give me a quilt. Due to a very very stupid family feud (you know the wedding kind where it has nothing to do with the people just that others are upset that you're happy) he didn't even come to the wedding. i was devastated, esp. as I didn't have much to do with the whole thing. Alas I am now trying to learn how to quilt so this book would be amazing!
My favourite Christmas cookies were always stained glass cookies, which can be edible decorations!

I am not very original I love chocolate chip....love the classics!!!
hello!
i don't know how to translate its name, but it's a pie i only make for xmas. it is made with cinnamon, and nuts, and this kind of white cheese that's not really cheese yet (in Portugal it's called requeijão).
i love it!
and i have a funny story about it too: the one time that i decided to make it outside xmas was because my boyfriend (now husband) was meeting my parents. i was so nervous about the big event that i forgot to add sugar, then the pie was horrible, but he is so sweet that he pretended to like it!
and i'm now a follower!
