My favorite are these chocolate crinkle cookies… (Recipe from Preppy Kitchen on youtube)
Sunshine likes peanut butter cookies (no pic).
And we both like molasses cookies (no pic). I need to make some molasses cookies.

Twins! At least as far as the Florentiner/s are concerned. Can’t remember the last time I had one.

I try not to buy them because they’re addictive.
The cream filled type…especially the ones where the ends are dipped in chocolate are my kryptonite!

Dark chocolate drizzled 100% pure butter lace florentine.
100% butter short bread cookies (certain add ins welcome)
The lost hot cocoa cookies that I still have never found as good of a recipe to recreate at home.
Otherwise, if you have buttery cookies, there’s a good shot I’ll like them.

Tell me about the hot chocolate cookies!

They were actually a prepared dough from the Immaculate Baking Company (whose products I never see at my local stores anymore). It was a limited edition holiday cookie that had small marshmallow bits in them too. They had a good cocoa flavor, but not too sweet. Sad that I’ve never seen them since.
If you look online there are various hot cocoa and hot chocolate cookie recipes, but most of them have too much chocolate (loaded with chocolate chips), too much marshmallow (nay to the giant marshmallow on top), and generally way too sweet. The prepared dough didn’t have additional chips in them, and the chocolate was closer to a dark chocolate base. Most versions ask for a pack of instant mix hot cocoa to get a hot cocoa taste.

Interesting! I’m sure my grandies would love a cookie with that name and description!
I’m pretty easy to please, and have basic tastes:
- Chocolate chip with pecans
- Oatmeal with raisins
- Whatever happens to be in the cookie jar at the moment

My top three this year:
• shortbread pecan button thumbsprints with semisweet ganache
puddles (I think they were called black eyed Susans at some
time)
• Pfeffernusse…the one’s that are realitvely soft and rolled in anise
infused confectioner’s sugar
• the oatmeal raisin cookies from elementary school. They had rice
Krispies in them.
I’m not really in the mood for making cookies this year for Christmas. I might experiment with the ‘hot chocolate cookie’ recipe, aforementioned in this thread, for the grandies.

Could @moderator-team update the post title to reflect 2024, not 2004? @mts and I laughed that the Time Machine is finally working.

Those are so delectable looking…I’d not want to eat something like those, they’re a work of art!

Aren’t the last ones you posted cannoli?
Nope.
I used to buy a variation of these at King’s Hawaiian Bakery (of the famed Hawaiian rolls!) in Torrance, CA. I loved their bakery and restaurant, too! Never had a bad thing from them!
