Since my time is limited lately and since I have been blogging for almost 3 years now (can you believe it!?!) I decided that it was time to do a Christmas Cookie round-up and showcase my favorite cookies! I also am looking for a cookie that will be easy for me to wrap and take to our cookie exchange at work so please, feel free to link up your favorite cookie!I want to also give you a heads up that I am planning a special giveaway for my 3rd year anniversary of blogging. Watch for the post after Christmas….on December 27, 2010!
2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons butter
1/3 cup shortening
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large mixer bowl beat butter and shortening until butter is softened. Add sugar and beat til fluffy. Add egg, milk, and vanilla and beat well. Add flour mixture and beat til well mixed. Divide dough in half. Cover and chill at least 3 hours or til easy to handle.
Roll dough 1/8 inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters, place on an ungreased cookie sheet (I usually use parchment paper if I have it). Bake at 375 for 7-8 minutes or til done. Remove and cool.

7 layer bars are my favorite! I think those Italian Christmas cookies look delicioius too. I may try to make those this year. Thanks for the recipes!
mmmm, i LOVE christmas cookies. they're all so pretty!
Great roundup, Shelby, and I'm captivated by your yummy peppermint meltaways and gorgeous snowflake cookies. My favorite? Seven-layer cookies. I find them so addictive that I can't make them any more.
It's sugar cookies all the way for me! We've made christmas tree ones already. Your snowflake ones look gorgeous.
I want one of each!
It's just not Christmas without rolled sugar cookies. And I always make the Magic Bars (7 layer bars minus a layer) as my "filler cookie" on the Christmas platter! 🙂
Love your round up of Christmas cookies – not sure which I would choose first! Beautiful.
I would love to taste all of your cookies. They are beautiful.
Tis the season for baking cookies! Great stuff Shelby!!
Can you just come to my house and bake for me. These all look amazing. I love the Italian Christmas Cookies. I may try these. I think my family has made these before (grandma and mom)
Great cookie round up, Shelby.
Happy Holidays to you!
