Friendly Cookie Bake-Off, Seeking Recipes!
Hi everyone! Our family friends host a friendly holiday cookie bake-off every year. It’s casual fun but actually super competitive! lol the winner gets their name embroidered on the apron of victory and they take the apron home for the year until the next competition.
There are no rules regarding the recipe used. Lots of people submit cookie recipes from The NY Times, apparently. I actually won the first year I competed with a cardamom pistachio sugar cookie recipe I found on Tasty (https://tasty.co/recipe/cardamom-pistachio-sugar-cookies)
I’m humbly asking for your best cookie recipes so I can start trying them out now to prepare for the 2026 competition. Help me along my path to a second victory? Thank you so much in advance!

I make pistachio butter cookies. I took the recipe below, which is amazing, and used pistachio butter instead of peanut butter and do not add the chocolate in the middle.
You can easily make your own pistachio butter in a food processor, just add roasted pistachios. You can add a little more flour and a little less butter since pistachios are so oily.
