Christmas Cookie Recipes that I'd lose if I didn't post them here
Chocolate Chip Cookies (3)
Ingredients
3/4 c Granulated sugar
1 c Brown sugar
1 c Butter
1 tb Vanilla
2 Eggs, slightly beaten
3 c Flour
3/4 ts Baking soda
3/4 ts Salt
3 c Semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c Chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine sugars; add in butter and cream together with the sugar. Add vanilla and eggs; mix together. In a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt and add to the creamed mixture. Mix well; the dough will be stiff. Add the chocolate chips and nuts (if using). Line the cookie sheets with baking parchment or wax paper. Drop dough with a small ice cream scoop onto the sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees F. Remove from oven and cool on wire racks.

1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In medium bowl, cream together the shortening, sugar and peanut butter. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt, stir into the creamed mixture until well blended. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto the cookie sheets. Press balls down using a fork dipped in sugar water.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Mix the sugar, shortening, egg, vanilla and almond extract until creamy. Mix in the flour, baking soda and cream of tartar. Make several small balls of dough. Roll out dough to about 1/8 or 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes with well floured cookie cutters. If desired, press candies, raisins, nuts or sprinkles into cookies. Place cookies onto the prepared sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes, depending upon whether you like hard or soft cookies. Remove cookies and let cool on a rack. Serve warm with a glass of milk. They are also good with ice cream wedged in the middle of two cookies.
