What are you baking up for the holidays?

So I feel like I finally have the house decorated. Now I can focus on my holiday baking.
In Sunday's ads, I saw some baking supplies on sale. I have the same cookie menu every year. I shared my husband's grandmother's butter cookie recipe last year. Not only are they delicious, but they are a sentimental favorite.
So in honor of Grandma Rose's upcoming birthday, I am going to share again her wonderful butter cookie recipe.
I would love for any of you to share your family favorites. I am always looking for new cookies to add to my annual baking marathon.
Butter Cookies
1 lb. butter
1 ¼ cup sugar
5 ¼ cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs plus 1 egg yolk
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, flour, baking soda and baking powder a little bit at a time. Beat until all is incorporated. Do not over beat. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 8 to10 minutes. These cookies just melt in your mouth.

I'm the pie man in the family. I'll be making pecan pie and white Christmas pie. I'll also be doing a batch or two of cocoa cookies..which are a mixture of cocoa, milk, sugar and butter, brought to a slow boil and then coconut and oats mixed in and dropped on a tray to cool...addictive as crack.

Forget the coconut and substitute with peanut butter. I also add a couple tsp of vanilla.
