4 WEEKS of GIVEAWAYS
week #3 [CLOSED]
In the continuing celebration of Budget Bytes reaching 10,000 RSS subscribers, I bring you Week #3 of the 4 Weeks of Giveaways!
So, you know I'm obsessed with pizza, right? Well, I am. Pizza is like a blank canvas to which you can apply any flavor, color, or texture. It's pure magic.
But to get a really great pizza, you need a stone pizza oven... or a PIZZA STONE!
So, I'm giving one away. Actually, not just a pizza stone, but also a pizza cutter and pizza peel (the wooden paddle that is used to transfer your raw pizza onto the hot stone). I hope there are many, many delicious pizzas in your future!
This week's contest entry question is:
Since I don't make cookies very often, I decided to turn this giveaway into a Christmas cookie exchange. You can either just name your favorite Christmas cookie or share it with everyone by leaving a link or URL to the recipe. I can't wait to hear your favorites!

The best cookies in the world are pretzel-shaped German cookies my favorite aunt used to make for Christmas every year. She's no longer up to the task, but I'm doing my best to find a recipe so the family can have them anyway.

Peppermint candy sugar cookies! They are especially pretty, and extra yummy if drizzled with a little chocolate. I usually make this standard old recipe, but there are any number of variations to 'change it up' if it gets a little same-old-same-old.

Favorite Christmas cookie? Chocalate cookie base topped with half a marshmallow cut lengthwise, Baked, then iced over with chocalate icing.
When you bite into the marshmallow section you see that the marshmallow has adhered and pulled to the chocolate icing.

Snickerdoodles. Plain and simple - something about the sugar and cinnamon says "holidays" to me. Although I do love getting out the special Christmas cookie cutters for sugar cookies: the gingerbread man (and woman), the tree, bell, and angel.

Chocolate Coma Cookies have become a holiday staple at our house since I read the recipe in the back of Diane Mott Davidson's book, "Tough Cookies". (Chocolate and coma in the same recipe? Sign me up!) Though they aren't a traditional holiday cookie, the dried cherries, almonds and chocolate all make me feel warm inside :) (recipe link: http://www.grouprecipes.com/4701/chocolate-coma-cookies.html )
Other than that, I grew up with homemade Vaniliekranser, a butter cookie shaped like a Christmas wreath. I think the best part was that it was a special attachment on my mom's Kitchen Aid that pushed out this long piece of dough that you had to catch and cut quickly to make the shapes, so it became like a game for the kids.

My Favorite cookie is Chocolate Mint Cookies for several reasons. One they are chocolate cookies topped with chocolate Andies Mints, I love cookies with melted chocolate on top! Reason number two is these cookies I have never messed up while trying to bake. (I know it's hard to mess up cookies, but I'm still learning and when I was younger I'd mess them up all the time! Except these.) I got the recipe from my mom, not sure where she got it from.

I forget what they are called... but you put down a sugar roll out cookie base, then put jelly on that and top it with another sugar roll out, however the top layer has a cut out in it (I use mini cookie cutters for that) so you can see the jelly. Does that make any sense?? They are really good, not overly sweet. I think last year I did an almond roll out cookie with strawberry jelly :))

Pfeffernüsse cookies, fun to eat, fun to say, and it takes a long time to make so several people can spend time in the kitchen gabbing while it happens. You make a ton of them because they're hard right after they're made, but then they soften and keep their sugar shell. Here's a random recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/pfeffernusse-cookies/detail.aspx

My favorite Christmas cookie, hmmm... probably a tie between the traditional sugar cookies and these hazelnut chocolate macarons I made one year. Gotta make those again!

My favorite are the sour cream cookies that my grandmother used to make. She didn't even need to measure anything out - she knew by looking exactly how much of everything she needed. And of course they always turned out perfectly. The best part is that she was of the age where one didn't need or use a fancy mixer. She did it all with her hands, which I find very inspiring as of late.

I don't really have a favorite X-mas cookie (I have a general love of all cookies!) but I'm imagining something with white chocolate, black chocolate, macademia nuts, and broken pieces of peppermint candy canes... time to experiment!

It seems really weird, but those tins or buckets of cookies you can get at the store smack of the Holiday for me with their simple processed butter cookieness and colourful sprinkles and what have you. But home made? No Bake Cookies... always a holiday treat for us. :)

My mama's homemade lemon sugar cookies she got from an elderly family friend when she first got married. The recipe is over a hundred years old and amazing. Every year she says she's not going to make them because they're time consuming and every year we threaten to boycott Christmas.

These are my ultimate favorite Christmas cookie. As soon as December hits, people always start to ask me when I'm going to start making them! The trick is to let the Andies mints sit on top of the cookie for a few minutes as soon as they come out of the oven, and then swirl them around to get the perfect brown/green swirl "frosting"! Also don't forget to check the comments for different variations!

One of my favorite cookies, for Christmas or otherwise, are Italian sesame thins. They are all buttery, sugary goodness that are rolled into balls, coated with sesame seeds and then baked (in ball form), where they flatten out. They are spectacularly good! Sorry, don't have a link.

My mother's fudge melt aways! a layer of Semi-sweet chocolate mixed with crushed graham crackers, then a layer of buttercream frosting, and then a thin layer of dark chocolate on the top. Chill in the fridge before adding each layer. To die for!!

Homemade decorated sugar cookies! Mostly because of the time spent with my large family decorating the cookies and sharing stories—accompanied by warm cocoa of course! :)

My absolute favourite Christmas cookies are Venetian Fritole! My mom makes them every year and they're basically like timbit but filled with raisins and the batter is soft and spongy which makes it hard to eat just one. They only come out at Christmas, so I savour each one. We usually make a big batch and bring little portions to all of our friends and family. I'm a sucker for tradition. Here's a link to the recipe http://english.incucina.tv/ricette/2968/2977/3887/ricetta.asp and just don't think about the calories for this one! They're worth it!
