"We’re making Homemade Nutter Butters…sure you can pick up a package of these favorite peanut butter cookies at the store, but are they soft and warm from your oven? I didn’t think so. See, now you have to make them! The peanut butter frosting is so simple to mix up, and warning…you might want to eat it all with a spoon, but hold the urge and make these cutest ever little Nutter Butter cookies."  Comment:  NoBiggie.net

Kami of NoBiggie.net has the recipe to one of my all time favorite cookies!!  Nutter Butter Cookies had to be on my mom's grocery list every time she went shopping.  Nutter Butter Cookies and Oreos with milk was breakfast for the longest time.  I love them so much!  Gotta make them for sure :)

"These orange cookies are soft and tender with plenty of fresh orange flavor, thanks to both zest and juice in the dough, and finished with a spooned-on orange icing that sets beautifully on top.  

A combination of butter and cream gives them a rich, bakery-style texture, while a touch of almond extract adds a little extra depth without sealing the spotlight from the citrus."  Comment from Bake or Break

Citrus pastries are among my favorites.  These orange cookies sound delicious and I need to make them.

"One of the most common answers to "What is your favorite Christmas cookie?" has to be "Thumbprints!" Not only can these sweets be baked and frozen up to three months in advance for a stress-free season, but they can also be dressed up with all kinds of flavor combos. Might we recommend lemon-coconut, almond-cherry, or peanut butter and jelly?" - description of recipe from Better Homes and Gardens.

Love the fact that they are so easy to make ahead and freeze, also so many variations are possible.  They are a very versatile cookie.

The beautiful photo with different versions of the same cookie gave me an idea for homemade gift-giving package . . . make different versions and make packages mixing them up.  It would make an awesome colorful presentation.
