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!

Giveaway #3 - Bialetti 4-Piece Pizza Stone Set

This week's contest entry question is:

What is your favorite Christmas cookie?

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!

HOW TO ENTER:

Leave a comment on this blog post answering "What is your favorite Christmas cookie?" and then click the green "I did this!" button in the contest widget.

"Like" Budget Bytes on Facebook through the contest widget button.

...or do both!

Good Luck!

Jen | November 29, 2011 at 6:06 PM: My father's family makes a cookie they simply call 'White Cookies', they are a shortbread based cookie with nuts rolled and baked, then the balls are immediately dropped into a powdered sugar/red and green sprinkle bag and shaken. SO GOOD.

Cherryl H | November 29, 2011 at 6:13 PM: Mexican wedding cake cookies! My mother has made them since I was a little girl (I'm 62 now). She would freeze them for the holidays. My brother and I would get into them after school. For awhile, my mother wondered what was going on. She eventually figured it out. Now, at 82, she continues to make them for the Christmas holiday. In fact, she made them just yesterday. She always prepares a container for my brother and I to take with us after our Christmas family gathering.
Kelsey | November 29, 2011 at 6:13 PM: Snickerdoodles!!!

Tracy | November 29, 2011 at 6:15 PM: My favorite Christmas cookie is the candy-cane cookie my Mom makes. It's a shortbread (I think) cookie, one part regular cookie, and the other part with cinnamon red-hots mixed in and dyed red. The two parts are twisted together into a candy-cane shape, and they are tasty. Not too sweet, either, so you can eat a lot of them and not fee guilty.
Jennifer Letourneau | November 29, 2011 at 6:16 PM: My nana made these cookies that we called "chocolate crinkle cookies" - they seem to be similar to Mexican Wedding Cake cookies but are triple chocolate, a bit crunchy on the outside, super gooey on the inside, and dusted with powdered sugar. YUM.
Amanda | November 29, 2011 at 6:17 PM: I love peanut butter cookies with a peanut butter cup in the middle!

Zac | November 29, 2011 at 6:26 PM: no doubt it is the peppermint crinkle cookie, feels like an after dinner mint, so refreshing but still satisfies the sweet tooth.
Zac | November 29, 2011 at 6:26 PM: peppermint crinkle cookie no doubt, feels like an after dinner mint but still hits that sweet tooth.
Shari | November 29, 2011 at 6:26 PM: I love really thin sugar cookies shaped into different things with colorful sprinkled sugar all over it..and a cookie called Rock Cookies my grandma used to make..

M | November 29, 2011 at 6:33 PM: So, my favorite isn't a cookie but a candy- buckeye balls. Nothing beats peanutbutter dipped in chocolate.

If you make me like a cookie, I think that it'd be snickerdoodles.
thea | November 29, 2011 at 6:34 PM: my favorite christmas cookie is sweetzels spiced wafers!
Karen Worthel | November 29, 2011 at 6:34 PM: My friend's mom makes the best sugar cookies and bon bons ever. She goes over the top when decorating the sugar cookies. They're so cute! I love them sooo much. =)

Ariana O. | November 29, 2011 at 6:39 PM: I recently tried pumpkin cookies. Omg, so delicious!
I also love oatmeal cookies (which I aced in Home Ec in high school lol) and macadamia nut cookies too.
Rachel W | November 29, 2011 at 6:39 PM: Hmm... it's a tossup between my mom's Snickerdoodles (not traditional, but she only makes them at Christmas!) and the classic gingerbread. I'm ready for Christmas just thinking about them!
Ashley | November 29, 2011 at 6:40 PM: Gingerbread for sure!
allison325 | November 29, 2011 at 6:40 PM: Snickerdoodle!
Branlaadee | November 29, 2011 at 6:41 PM: Christmas is all about the spritz cookie! Quick and easy and so many different flavors out there! Vanilla, chocolate, eggnog, cinnamon, etc.
lander | November 29, 2011 at 6:41 PM: I'm partial to sugar cookies.
Emily | November 29, 2011 at 6:43 PM: Gingersnaps all the way! The spiciness is perfect for the holiday season. I especially love them with some bits of candied ginger.
Marie-Eve Barrette | November 29, 2011 at 6:44 PM: Ginger bread cookies. With butterscotch pudding as the (not so) secret ingredient

Brittany | November 29, 2011 at 6:47 PM: It isn't a cookie, but I always make chocolate covered peanut butter balls at Christmas time to giveaway. They are so simple easy to adapt the recipe to vegan. Yum.
Carys | November 29, 2011 at 6:47 PM: Gingerbread! Growing up my friends family made the best gingerbread cookies hands down! We have the recipe somewhere...but they never turned out as good when we made them!
Ruth H | November 29, 2011 at 6:48 PM: My favorite cookie is one my grandma made when I was growing up. It is called " Mamaw's Monster Cookie" It starts with standard chocolate chip cookie dough and oatmeal cookie dough mixed, but then it has extra cinnamon and nutmeg and then has milk & semi sweet chocolate chips, walnut chunks, and golden raisins. I know it sounds like a mess but it reminds me of my grandma every time I make them with my daughter.
JadeGordon | November 29, 2011 at 6:48 PM: I love pfeffernusse! I really should make them this year. It was such a tradition growing up!
NaDell | November 29, 2011 at 6:49 PM: My favorite cookie at Christmas is mint double chocolate chip cookies dipped in melted chocolate. YUM!
Jessica | November 29, 2011 at 6:49 PM: I love gingersnaps, especially when they're made with lard.
Kristi | November 29, 2011 at 6:49 PM: Chocolate Mint Crinkle Cookies are definitely my favorite. It looks like snow with the powdered sugar; it leaves delicious chocolate-y mint aftertaste just like what I get when I snuggle up around the holidays to a cup of peppermint cocoa mocha/hot cocoa. mm! Did I mention I like mint flavor??
Nicole | November 29, 2011 at 6:49 PM: I love those peanut butter cookies with the Hershey's kiss in the middle! Not sure if they're considered holiday cookies, but seems like I only see them this time of year.
Brittany | November 29, 2011 at 6:52 PM: Chocolate cookies with Andes mints in them!
moxiedoesit | November 29, 2011 at 6:53 PM: Ooooh. Sugar cookies with the shiny pink icing - soft, thin cookies with a bit of a crisp ---- I've never been able to get it quite right! One of my dad's friends used to give them to us every year and I would sneak all of the star-shaped ones :-D
Sylvia K. | November 29, 2011 at 6:53 PM: Definitely frosted sugar cookies. I used to make them with my mom, and now I make them with my kids!
Kristy Listy | November 29, 2011 at 6:53 PM: Molasses cookies!!!
Andrea | November 29, 2011 at 6:54 PM: Okay...I dont even care how they taste, I love cut out shaped christmas cookies with random drawings on them! they make me feel warm and fuzzy :)
Lori Hagan | November 29, 2011 at 6:54 PM: My favorite Christmas cookie.. oh that is hard as we make so many every year. My favorites are "bullseyes' - a chocolate and vanilla dough - one small ball inserted in the middle of a larger one with a bullseye made from icing.
Andrea | November 29, 2011 at 6:55 PM: Nothing beats a sugar cookie. Yum.
L. Little | November 29, 2011 at 6:55 PM: Chocolate chip are my favorite by far! But I tried pumpkin chocolate chip on halloween and they were super tasty as well!! :)

no.more.burnin.H2O | November 29, 2011 at 6:57 PM: Probably not technically a cookie, but I love those coconut balls covered in chocolate. My mom makes those and they are soooooo yummy!
Sara Belle | November 29, 2011 at 6:59 PM: My mom once made up a greek cookie for an event where we needed an international snack, we now eat it every year for Christmas. Graham Crackers, baked with butter and sugar and sliced almonds.
Tintin | November 29, 2011 at 6:59 PM: I love every kind of Christmas cookie. :D But I'm really craving some tablet at the moment, so let's go with that today. This is the recipe I go with, though I disagree with the writer that vanilla should be added. It doesn't need any extra flavouring at all: http://www.scruss.com/tablet.html
Mary | November 29, 2011 at 6:59 PM: Magic Cookie Bars!!!
Valérie | November 29, 2011 at 7:00 PM: Definitely gingerbread man haha!
Amanda Mendez | November 29, 2011 at 7:00 PM: Love sugar cookies!
Leahanne | November 29, 2011 at 7:01 PM: Weird, but my family always made fruit kolaches for Christmas, so that's what I think of when I think of "Christmas cookies."
April McCarty | November 29, 2011 at 7:01 PM: German Spritz Cookies are my favorite. My Mom was German, and have great memories making these with her and my Sister at Christmas time. I do love the taste of them too, but the time with my Mom also adds to my love for them.
Emily | November 29, 2011 at 7:01 PM: I really like those chocolate crinkle cookies dusted in powdered sugar. I have a really vivid memory of being about 2 years old and rolling them in the bowl of powdered sugar with my mom.
Unknown | November 29, 2011 at 7:02 PM: My favorite Christmas cookie is date pinwheels, or maybe Russian Tea Cakes, or Fruitcake cookies made with all dates and walnuts.
Alejandra | November 29, 2011 at 7:02 PM: Ooh at my office, we get these delicious danish cookies from Solvang, Ca for Christmas every year. They are so little I can eat more than I should. http://www.solvangbakery.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=1&c=1

I need to learn how to make them. They're so delicate and buttery. I hope we get some this year.
Chandra | November 29, 2011 at 7:02 PM: Black pepper butter cookies are my ALL TIME favorite! http://www.food.com/recipe/black-pepper-butter-cookies-74251
Rhonda | November 29, 2011 at 7:02 PM: It's hard to pick just one, but I'd probably have to say Gingersnaps or my mother-in-laws sugar cookies.
rhondaree1958@yahoo.com
Caitlin | November 29, 2011 at 7:02 PM: My mom makes these awesome almondy cakey bars with a cherry layer and a crumble layer on top... love.

Kelly hyde | November 29, 2011 at 7:10 PM: Molasses cookies, spiced with lots of warm ginger.
Jen Rogers | November 29, 2011 at 7:11 PM: My favorite Christmas "cookie" is something that we refer to as coated crackers. It's a PA Dutch tradition and a favorite recipe of our family. First you make a peanut butter and fluff cracker with Ritz crackers and then dip it in chocolate candy coating. Yum!
Jess the Weav | November 29, 2011 at 7:12 PM: Peppermint Pinkies! My mom makes them every year and I always look forward to having (a few too many) them when I go home! I'm not sure the recipe, but I think it is a shortbread type cookie with crushed candy cane bits in it in the shape of a pinkie finger (hence the name) and then coated with a crushed candy cane frosting. Peppermint Pinky means Christmas is here! Thanks mom!
Alexandru Zegrea | November 29, 2011 at 7:13 PM: Cherry chocolate chip cookies
Emily H | November 29, 2011 at 7:14 PM: My favorite Christmas cookie is Swedish white with frosting!

Amy L | November 29, 2011 at 7:16 PM: I'm simple: I just love these really basic sugar cookies that seem to only be around at Christmas time. Yum!
Molly Sonderman | November 29, 2011 at 7:18 PM: Love Christmas spritz cookies
Lisa Bella | November 29, 2011 at 7:19 PM: Russian Tea Cookies for sure!
Whit517 | November 29, 2011 at 7:20 PM: I love peanut butter cookies with mini reeses cups in them!
Danielle Lindwall | November 29, 2011 at 7:20 PM: My favorite is the peanutbutter cookies with the criss-crossed fork marks in it!! My sister and I would help my mom with every part of making them and of course our favorite part was putting the fork marks in!
Benstrider | November 29, 2011 at 7:21 PM: Oatmeal raisin cookies!
Julia Broadbooks | November 29, 2011 at 7:22 PM: Sugar cookies with royal icing. It just wouldn't be Christmas without them.

Etain | November 29, 2011 at 7:24 PM: http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Peanut-Butter-Christmas-Mice

THESE are the ones.

The shoestring licorice can be hard to find, but you can get the pull apart twizzler, works just as well. Kids, adults, everyone loves these. :)
jenny | November 29, 2011 at 7:26 PM: kitchen sink, cause they're homey & made with love!
jwinters | November 29, 2011 at 7:30 PM: 7 layer bars

LB | November 29, 2011 at 7:31 PM: My favorite Christmas cookie is a sugar-free Jello cookie that I make every year for my mom and brother. They are both diabetic and usually have everything so I make them just for them.
Katie W. | November 29, 2011 at 7:31 PM: i like a good, plain sugar cookie!
Anna | November 29, 2011 at 7:33 PM: I like sugar cookies decorated with glace icing
Cass | November 29, 2011 at 7:34 PM: Has to be shortbread - the melt in your mouth kind!
Cari | November 29, 2011 at 7:35 PM: This comment has been removed by the author.
Meister @ The Nervous Cook | November 29, 2011 at 7:36 PM: My mother always made Tollhouse chocolate-chip cookies with walnuts for Christmas gifts, and honestly it never got any better than popping a fresh, still gooey one of those in my mouth just after it came out of the oven. I don't know why she only made them around the holidays, but it's probably better that she did -- I was already a chubbette without a constant stream of cookies!
Kelli | November 29, 2011 at 7:42 PM: My favorite Christmas cookies are called Snowball Surprises.. it's a round, powdered cookie with an almond M&M in the center. It's simple but it's DELICIOUS!
Sara and Matt | November 29, 2011 at 7:49 PM: Making Norwegian cookies is a Christmas family tradition! I love sandbakkels, Rosettes, lefse, sprits, krumkake, and fattigman. Krumkake is my favorite!
MisaLawliet | November 29, 2011 at 7:49 PM: Gingersnaps!
Nobby | November 29, 2011 at 7:51 PM: I'd have to say pizzelles. They're just so light and tasty, i could eat a dozen in a sitting, easy.
Tanna | November 29, 2011 at 7:54 PM: my favorite would be butter cookies :)
Jeneanne | November 29, 2011 at 7:55 PM: My favorite dessert for any holiday is brownies!
Marji m | November 29, 2011 at 7:56 PM: my mom makes these chocolate cottage cheese cookies that are as light as clouds NOMNOMNOM
Sam Feldman | November 29, 2011 at 7:57 PM: My favorite cookies would have to be these vegan chocolate chip cookies because they're simple to make and very tasty! Plus, I almost always have these ingredients already, so I can make them on impulse if I see dark chocolate chips at the store.

http://www.ericasweettooth.com/2011/05/vegan-chocolate-chip-cookies.html
Matt | November 29, 2011 at 7:57 PM: Jell-O cookies!
Savannah | November 29, 2011 at 7:57 PM: Peppernoten are my favorite. They are a Dutch tradition. My family makes them every year in December. They are made to be hard, so you suck on them and savor all of the flavors of Christmas!

foxesinsockses | November 29, 2011 at 7:58 PM: Buttery homemade sugar cookies loaded with terrible-for-you icing out of a can. :D
Katie | November 29, 2011 at 7:59 PM: Mmm, either my grandma's recipe for sugar cookies (with almond extract in the dough and frosting!) or spritz. Super tough choice...
Laura | November 29, 2011 at 8:00 PM: I love a simple sugar cookie with a raspberry jam thumbprint! Growing up it was the first cookie I ever made by myself so it holds a great memory of pride and accomplishment!!
Aldebrana | November 29, 2011 at 8:03 PM: gingerbread!!
Allie | November 29, 2011 at 8:05 PM: I love ginger snaps!
V | November 29, 2011 at 8:05 PM: I'm actually not much of a fan of cookies--blasphemy, I know. But my favorite Christmas cookies are these: http://www.delish.com/recipefinder/apricot-pinwheels-1715 I make them with lemon or berry jam instead of apricot jam and either dried cherries or strawberries in place of dried apricots. Not technically Christmas-y, I know, but it works for me.
Catherine | November 29, 2011 at 8:07 PM: I like sugar cookies with lots of sprinkles and icing on top! The other day, my husband made some pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese icing, so we garnished our sugar cookies with cream cheese icing and SO MANY sprinkles!

Holly H. | November 29, 2011 at 8:07 PM: Rosenmunnar! They're Swedish thumbprint jam cookies. I bake over a hundred of these tiny cookies to give out to friends and family. It means that Christmas is here :)
Jenn | November 29, 2011 at 8:11 PM: My favorite Christmas cookie is the Korova Cookie, otherwise known as the World Peace Cookie. Ohh they are delicious!
Tiffany | November 29, 2011 at 8:12 PM: We used to make sugar cookies and paint them with colored egg-yolk before cooking. That is one of my favorite holiday memories!
heathermom | November 29, 2011 at 8:16 PM: Snowball cookies!!! They're crispy, covered in powdered sugar and oh so "melty in your mouthy".
Sara Murphy | November 29, 2011 at 8:18 PM: shortbread for sure! I could eat a whole batch!
Leah | November 29, 2011 at 8:22 PM: Sugar cookies, of course!
Wendebular | November 29, 2011 at 8:24 PM: I really like the Dutch spice cookies that look like windmills. I have no idea what they're really called. Meanwhile, here's something similar, the German Spekulatius cookies (awesome name!): http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com/2009/12/spekulatius-spiced-german-christmas.html

The pictures are so pretty!
Shannon Doll | November 29, 2011 at 8:28 PM: Russian Tea Cakes on Christmas morning with a cup of peppermint mocha flavored coffee is pretty close to Heaven for me. My mom-in-law makes these just for me - no one else will eat them...until their favorites are gone!

Am I the only one NOT CRAZY about gingersnaps or snickerdoodles?!

Karen | November 29, 2011 at 8:40 PM: Snickerdoodles!!! Sooo delicious. But sugar cookies are also really fun to make and eat, especially with lots of decorative icing and sprinkles! At my house we always end up getting really really sugar high decorating them.
