Those look awesome, Helga! Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. Stay safe and stay warm

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you and you too!

[@bettyangstadt4242]

My favorite cookie for the holiday is a good old fashioned iced sugar cookie. I also use the same icing as you made for your Italian cookie with the almond extract…the family all loves them. I didn’t realize Pampered Chef was still around…they have the best kitchen products and I do use the ones I have bought everyday, good quality! Thank you for the Italian Cookie recipe I will be making them this year for sure!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Yup, i did the iced sugar cookies last week. Always a holiday favorite! And yes, Pampered Chef is still around and has everything from tools to baking mixes, sauces, seasonings and kits.

[@robynknab2616]

My favorite cookie is molasses or gingerbread. I also love Italian wedding cookies! Yum! Your video encouraged me that I could make them. Thank you! Merry Christmas!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

You're welcome! Try the gingersnap cookies I made in the next vid, they came out awesome!

[@littleprepper887]

My favorite is Clothes Pin Cookies and Spritz. Thank you for all you do. Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄 ☃️ ❤

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Merry Christmas to you as well!

[@shirleylaboy603]

They look delicious Helga. Thanks for sharing your recipes.🙂♥️

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

My pleasure 😊

[@kathycox7392]

I think strawberry shortbread thumbprint cookies are one of my favorites for Christmas

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Those sound good!

[@susanboyd7116]

Spritzer cookies are my favorite

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Yup, those are a favorite of mine, too!

[@peggetennant]

Delicious cookies. I’ve never thought to brush the icing on with a pastry brush. Such an easier way to do it. My favorite cookies are so many, but I narrowed it down to 2. Southern Cream Cookies found in the 1961 Better Homes and Garden cookbook. And, Greek Butter Cookies that are similar to Mexican Wedding Balls, but you add Galiano or Ouzo to the batter, and before you put them in the oven, you stick a whole clove in them that can be seen so people can pull it out before eating. Great video.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

OK, I am intrigued by both! Not familiar with them!

[@peggetennant]

@ I will send you a copy of them. Maybe you would enjoy them next year.

[@mikebaucom1298]

My favorite cookie are wedding cookies!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

I don't think there's any BAD cookies, LOL!

[@944gemma]

Great job Helga.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@andaholcomb9770]

I baked your cookie and it was wonderful! One of my new favorite

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

I'm so glad you liked them!

[@kmhealed]

Chocolate Chip ( although now I’m allergic to Chocolate)! These cookies look great! Thanks for the recipe!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

That would be a bummer! I'd have to say second would be peanut butter chips!

[@kathleenlanning]

My favorite cookies are date cookies. My grandmother made them for Christmas. I don’t have the specific recipe, but a pecan half was put inside a whole pitted date and then wrapped in a shortbread type dough. After baked and cooled, they were dusted with powdered sugar.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

That sounds like a delicious Christmas cookie! I'm going to have to look for that. My mother loves dates!

[@dees769]

Hi!! The cookies look delicious!!’ I love the Rosettes!!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thanks, I love them too!

[@foodjunkie810]

My favorite is Snowball cookies. Merry Christmas!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Those are good ones!

[@phyllisbell8698]

I love "Orange Buttermilk Frosted Cookies." A soft cookie, with orange juice and zest in the cookie, and the fosting.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Gosh, I haven't had those in years. Mom used to make them though, a favorite of hers!

[@phyllisbell8698]

@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot I was given the recipe by my MIL as a young bride nearly 60 years ago. The recipe makes 7 dozen. I have oranges and lemons, and plan to divide the dough and make half orange, and substitute lemon in the other half.

[@planesandcooking5142]

I do peanut butter cookies.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Always a favorite!

[@debbyatwell7851]

they look so good

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you!

[@fitzget9]

Chocolate crinkles ❤

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Those are good, the red velvet ones were amazing!

[@maggiemay3017]

Just found you, these are one of my favorite cookies. I've never made them!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

They are SO good, give them a try! And pretty easy!

[@bmck-ss3zb]

Hershey kiss blossoms!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

[@djs4358]

[@bigw1552]

Kitchen sink cookies from Aldi thanks!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Gotta love those! LOL!

[@MaryLenore72]

I just made my ricotta cookies this morning! Later I’ll do Michigan Rocks and chocolate chip. My hubs always says I make too much but cooking is my love language.❤ I’m live Pine Grove, my daddy was born and raised in Fear Not (yup, that’s the actual name) and he didn’t speak English until he was in 1st grade. He had a teacher from Mt. Carmel who wanted nothing to do with Dutch!!😂😂😂

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

I love making lots of cookies too! I know where Fear Not is. We take bike rides down through that way sometimes and go through Pine Grove as well. It's funny because the PA Dutchy and coal region folks are right next to each other but they don't often overlap, LOL. Me, i have a foot in each, LOL!

[@paulalotte1146]

They look so good! I think I may have to try and make them this year. As for my favorite cookie... that's a tough one. I think it's a tie between two that I rarely make because they are time-consuming, and that's Nut Tussies & Kiffels 😋

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

You'll love them! And I love kiffles!

[@lindamallocci3800]

Merci pour la recetteMerci pour la recette
