I like to present my favorite holiday cookies in a special way. I pile these fresh-baked tea cakes on pretty plates that I buy throughout the year, then wrap them with colored cellophane to give friends. —Valerie Hudson, Mason City, Iowa

I'm not sure about these cookies. They don't look very appetizing.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I made these cookies with sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter. They turned out great!

I'm not a huge fan of these cookies. I found them to be too sweet and the texture was a bit dry.

These cookies were delicious! I used a different type of jam than the recipe called for, but they still turned out great.

I've made these cookies several times and they always turn out great. They're a little bit time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth it.
