It’s time to begin making my list of Christmas cookie recipes. These are the ones that I’m planning on making this year:

Childhood Thumbprint Cookies
Chocolate Crackles
Eggnog Cookies
Peanut Blossoms
Soft Molasses Cookies
Holiday Spritz Cookies

Forgotten Cookies

2 egg whites
pinch of salt
2/3 c. sugar
1 t. vanilla
1 c. mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Beat egg whites until foamy. Add salt and continue beating until they stand in soft peaks. Gradually add sugar, beating thoroughly until mixture form stiff peaks.

Sprinkle vanilla and chocolate chips over the top; fold in.

Drop by small teaspoons onto lightly buttered cookie sheet (or cover cookie sheet with parchment). The cookies may be close together since they will not spread.

Place in hot oven and turn the oven off immediately. Let the cookies dry overnight in the oven.

Forgotten cookies ready to go into the oven. You can place them closely together because you don’t have to worry about them spreading while baking.

This list is subject to change (and maybe a couple of additions) before I begin my annual cookie baking marathon.
