Laura - its too funny you should post that recipe because I just literally printed it off about 30 minutes ago to make this weekend. Those are yummy cookies.

I love russian tea cookies! I think they are sometimes called Mexican wedding cookies. DH and I used to make them a
few times a week during Dec. But this year we are too busy unfortunately.

Ours are toffee cookies! I got the recipe a long time ago from a magazine - it may have been Better Homes and Gardens or Paula Deen, I can't remember. I didn't copy it down because it is so easy to remember!!!
You make your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough (or buy 2 tubes of prepared dough), spread it out in a large cookie or jelly roll sheet, then bake according to directions. Let cool slightly. In a small bowl, melt caramel chips with 2 tsps of water in the microwave or on the stove, according to directions on the bag, then drizzle all over the baked dough. Next you top with 1/2 bag each of mini chocolate chips and toffee bits (or crushed Heath bars). Let cool and then cut into bars. They are to die for! I have to make sure my DH and son get to them before I do, or ensure that I give most of these as gifts; otherwise they'll go right to my hips!!! LOL!!!
Please do try them - they're really, really, really super-duper yummy! :) - Nini

this is the BEST gingerbread cookie recipe ever so I'm posting it for anyone that wants it.
you can half it if you want, makes a bunch
6 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
4 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp grated nutmeg
1 tsp ground cloves
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar (packed firm)
3 sticks unsalted butter (at room temp)
1 cup unsulfured molasses ( I use Grandma's brand) TIP spray measuring cup w/ pam then measure molasses (comes out better)
2 large eggs
mix flour salt baking soda and spices in bowl set aside. Cream butter and sugar together till fluffy. Add molasses and eggs and beat until blended. on low speed gradually beat in flour mixture till blended. divide in about 4 parts and wrap in plastic wrap, AFTER you wrap it press into flat thick disc. refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
preheat oven to 350
flour a work surface and roll out dough ( one disc at a time) to about 1/8 inch thickness. cut out with desired cookie cutters. TIP use a flat spatula to transfer cookie from work space to cookie sheet. bake about 8-10 min for smaller cookies 10-12 for larger ones, until firm to touch and just beginning to color around edges. cool about 1 minute before removing from cookie sheet. use spatual to transfer to wire rack, or paper towels cool completely.
decorate as desired.

My daughter and I are the master bakers of our family! My mother and sister don't bake anymore so we make a cookie care package of our traditional cookies every year as their Christmas present. Over the years, we acquired new "recipients", ie. someone in bad circumstances or family loss, that we added to our "deliveries". My soon-to-be ex lamented two years ago...."Whose paying for all these cookies!" So...I came up with the name "Ebeneezer Cookie Company"
Here's our list now:
Chocolate Chip/Black Walnut
Michigan Rocks (date/black walnut/cinnamon)
White Chocolate/Pistachio
Oatmeal/Butterscotch/Chocolate/Nut
Snickerdoodles
Triple Chocolate/Almond
Peanut Butter
Chocolate Toffee
and one candy: peppermint chocolate melts
Check us out on the web soon! LOL!
