It has been a bunch of years ago, but I remember having a Christmas cookie that had cranberries in it. It was fantastic! I have no idea what else was in them, old timers, don't ya know?  Do you folks have any recipes that might fit the bill?

Ruthie is a wonderful baker who catalogs all her recipes in her head. Year-round we are blessed with a wide assortment of cookies (biscuits) and baked treats.
Every Christmas season mom focuses on scones w/clotted cream, apricot, raspberry and strawberry tarts and lemon curd. She also makes gingerbread men, pumpkin, zucchini and banana bread, figgy pudding (Christmas cake) and spotted dick throuhout the season.
I do love Christmas so.
Happiest of holidays to all.

Old fashioned sugar cookies in various Christmas shapes with various topings were my favorite. My grandmother always made all kinds of cookies at Christmas. I would rather have the cookies than a new toy.

Loved my grandmother to death but she could burn water. World's worst cook!
Cookies were like cinders.

For the last few weeks my wife has been making cookies for the house and gifts for friends.
She has been making peanut butter bom=bom's with peanut butter, gram cracker and french vanilla frosting dipped in milk chocolate {Think Reese's peanut butter cups but round the size of a golfball }.She has also been making Madoline's { a vanilla short bread type cookie shaped like a scallop shell 1/2 dipped in milk chocolate}.
Just yesterday when doing my Santa gig we delivered a large bag full of Christmas boxed tin's to my friends.

They're known by other names, Mom. (RIP), always called them peanut butter blossoms. Peanut butter cookie with a Hershey Kiss in the middle.

Possibly cranberries and orange.
My wife started making cranberry orange cookies as I like cranberry orange relish.
Cookie is like a chocolate chip in style or maybe a sugar cookie with the orange flavor provided by orange zest, very tasty if you like those flavors.
Multiple recipes found on the internet.

Not a cookie but every year at Christmas my family makes the best fudge.
And it's not some secret family recipe. It's the Fantasy Fudge that has the recipe on every big jar of Kraft marshmallow cream.

I like oatmeal raisin cookies because that way I can tell my doctors I've been eating more fruit and grain.

My grandmother made a cookie that was 2 cookies with ground up rasins in between. Nobody in the family makes them, the dough has to chill in fridge 24 hrs.

Old fashioned Tea Cakes, (sugar cookies). My Grandmother, Mother, and now my MBH makes them. Simple sugar cookies, with a simply wonderful taste.
We divided the last slice of Lemon Pound Cake this morning at breakfast. Nothing beats a slice of it, with coffee, to finish breakfast off.
Have a blessed day,
Leon

Mom's Snickerdoodles and Chocolate Chip cookies. When I lived at a apartment back in the '90s my downstairs neighbor made cookies every Xmas and gave out coffee tins full of them. My favorite of hers was the Pecan Crescents.
