WHITE CHRISTMAS COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 6 cookie sheets or parchment lined (parchment lining cookie sheets helps prevent cookies from over browning the underside of the cookies and it also helps prevent cookies from sticking to the sheets).
• Combine, flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat butter and sugars in a large mixer bowl with mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Beat in vanilla and dry ingredients.
• Stir in white chopped chocolate pieces, nuts and raisins.
• Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake 8 - 10 minutes, until golden.
• Cool on wire racks.
• Tidbit: Using baking white chocolate bars and chopping them is, I believe, the secret to these cookies. I've made them with white chocolate chips, but found that they didn't have the same decadence.

Steps:

• Cream butter in a large mixing bowl; gradually add sugar, beating well. Beat in eggs. Sift together flour, salt, and nutmeg three times; gradually add to creamed mixture, stirring well. Stir in sherry. Chill overnight.
• Divide dough into fourths. Work with one portion of dough at a time, keeping remaining dough chilled until ready to use.
• Roll one portion of dough to 1/8- inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut with assorted shaped cutters; place 1 inch apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350° for 7 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets, and cool on wire racks. Repeat with remaining dough.
