You'll see alot more cookies in the next few weeks, even some of my own creation ;) But to start off, I've got two types for you....
First up is a classic, witches hats or peanut butter blossoms. I made these using Nicole's flourless recipe and topped them off with Meltaway Kisses. While you can put all sorts of things in the base of the cookies, I love the simplicity of ingredients and how these melt in your mouth!
To play with some of the last apples from the orchard, I adapted a recipe from Maria to come up with Apple Oatmeal Scotchies. From her recipe, I swapped out cinnamon chips for butterscotch chips. I also made my usual sub's of WWW flour instead of AP and Smart Balance 50/50 sticks instead of butter.
Do you like to make favorites over the holidays or try new things? I'm doing a bit of both this year (or planning to). Now if only I could find the time...

I like to make old favorites for the holidays :)
Both cookies look melt in the mouth delish! x x
Maria has the BEST cookie recipes. Hands down. I like a mix of both too ;) Happy weekend!!
Those apple scotchies look AMAZING! I am a sucker for anything apple related and I liked your susbsitution of using butterscotch chips...can you ship me some! haha! Thanks for posting!
I don't have old favorites, since I'm still a new cook, so I guess that means I'll be trying new things. Looking forward to our cookie swap party. You know how much of a sweet tooth I am :)
Weekend plans - attend Adam's xmas party and bake some cookies!! :D
Oh yeah, there will probably be some exercise in there. I think I'm going to skip the weekend run. It's SO cold out and I'm being a baby ;)
oh the PB blossom looks great1
PB Blossoms are my favorite! The scotchies look yummy too! I am making favorites and some new things too.
I like to try new things using favorite Christmas flavors.
I haven't made PB blossoms in such a long time and really need to because they are just so good! Love your apple scotchies - yum! I try to mix things up too :)
The PB blossoms look so cute!!
I desperately want some of those apple butterscotch cookies. Sound delicious.
I am all about the old favorites. Something about the holiday season just makes me want to go back to my roots. Hence all the comfort food I've been eating lately!

I'm actually going to make something new this winter....probably spiced nuts and granola for gifts...my parents have had enough with my mad baking each year!
Those cookies look delicious!
yum! Those pb blossoms sound wonderful with the Meltaway kisses!
There are always favorites we have to make, but I like testing out new things every year too. Love PB blossoms -- especially when the cookie is barely bigger than the kiss!
yum!!! looks awesome!! I like to make old favorites. Since I dont eat cookies a whole lot during the year its something I look forward to. I do try to sneak in a new recipe or two though. It is fun to experiment a bit!
Both look delicious - love cookie baking season!
I will not tell you how I used to make mine (before this post :)) youd weep I think.
