I love these, though I've never heard them called Buckeyes before. We just refer to them as Peanut Butter Balls.
I also love cookies. The best job that I ever had in college was working at a bakery - where all that was sold was cookies (16 kinds), muffins, scotcheroos and kringla.
My sister and I are going to be baking 12 dozen cookies that she needs for some church event. We plan on making cookies shaped like candy canes - two types of dough twisted together, pinwheels and fudge. I love fudge.
Also a fun easy recipe that I got from a friend's mom involves those long pretzel sticks, melted white almond bark, smashed up candy canes and melted chocolate bark. You dip the pretzels about 2/3 of the way into the almond bark, then roll them into the smashed candy canes and drizzle with the melted chocolate.
The Christmas cookies that I grew up with were called Christmas Card Cookies. I don't have the recipe handy, but they have ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and some other spices. They're similar to a gingerbread cookie, but the taste is a bit different. Then we'd ice them and my mom is a cookie decorating queen.
