from the Hershey Kitchens:

CHOCOLATE DROP SUGAR COOKIES

• 2/3 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup buttermilk or sour milk*
• Additional sugar


1. Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease cookie sheet.

2. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl until well blended. Add egg and vanilla; beat until fluffy. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; add alternately with buttermilk to butter mixture. Using ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop dough about 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheet.

3. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until cookie springs back when touched lightly in center. While cookies are on cookie sheet, sprinkle lightly with additional sugar. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. About 1 dozen cookies.

* To sour milk: Use 1 teaspoon white vinegar plus milk to equal 1/3 cup.

We have made these a few times and they will be on our cookie tray this holiday.

Chocolate Chip Coconut Macaroons
From the Kitchen of: wsapooh (Laurie)

1 14oz package coconut
1 14oz can Eagle Brand evaporated milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until everything has a light coating of milk. Drop teaspoonfulls onto greased cookie sheet (butter flavor Pam works best) and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until light brown (toasted). Let cool completely before removing from the cookie sheet! Otherwise they'll just fall apart.

I'm going off memory on this one so don't actually try this until I've double checked it with my recipe card. I'm unsure of the size of the can of milk and the temperature of the oven. Will have that info for you very soon!

Eggnog Cheesecake (source - Pam aka Kingdom Konsultants). She made this for me a while back and we make it every Thanksgiving and Christmas now. A staple in our family...thanks PAMMY!

Ingredients:
2 packages (5 oz each) chocolate laced pirouette cookies
1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 Tablespoons butter, melted
2 packages (8 oz each) Cream Cheese, softened
2 cups cold prepared eggnog

2 packages (4 servings size each) JELL-O instant pudding/pie filling, vanilla
or French vanilla flavored
1 Tablespoon rum
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Cool Whip Whipping Topping (thawed), optional


Directions:
Reserve 1 cookie for garnish, if desired. Cut 1-inch piece off 1 end of each of the remaining cookies. Crush 1-inch pieces into crumbs; set aside remaining cookies for sides of cake. Combine cookie crumbs, graham cracker crumbs and butter until well mixed. Press crumb mixture firmly into bottom of 9-inch spring form pan.

Beat cream cheese at low speed of electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup of eggnog, blending until mixture is very smooth. Add remaining eggnog, milk, pudding mix, run and nutmeg. Beat until well blended about 1 minute. Pour cream cheese mixture carefully in to pan. Chill until firm, about 3 hours. Run hot metal knife or spatula around edges of pan before removing sides of pan.

I havent started baking yet. We just finished putting up the tree Monday night, and last night was Rudolph, so, hopefully this coming weekend I will start. For what its worth, I do all of the Christmas baking in my family. I do most from scratch (spritz cookies that are like potato chips...you cant eat just one, Italian drop cookies, biscotti, etc) but I also 'cheat'. Thats right. I get those Nestle toll house cookies where all you have to do is break the little nuggets apart, put them on a cookie sheet and bake! They actually come better than my own toll house cookies :)

This year I am going to try one of my grandmothers recipes (I actually found one with real measurements instead of her usual "all the flour the eggs can take" stuff :lol: ) This one is a walnut pastry cookie. I used to help her make them when I was small, but this will be my first attempt to fly solo :slurp:

I don't like the sound of that.

Now, now, Vince, calm down. It's a popular ingredient in cookie recipes, available in any grocery store. Tasteless, but necessary to the proper cookie consistency.:)
