It requires a special rosette iron (with different shapes). I'll find one online and send you a link to it. They keep really well too, so you can make them days ahead of time or mail them to people.
ETA: I found that they have expanded the kinds of irons one can get, and includes all kinds of holidays. There isn't a crown for Zeta, or a squirrel for Alpha Gam, but you can get bunnies and eggs for Halloween, and spiders and bats for Halloween. There is also a Texas shaped one, wtf.

these are the easiest cookies to make ever: (i don't know what they're called... but they're good!)
1 box of cake mix - whatever flavor you like, i prefer lemon or strawberry
1 tub of cool whip
powdered sugar
mix the cake mix and cool whip together, make into balls and roll in powdered sugar. bake for 10-15 minutes (depends on your oven) at 350...
the balls will flatten a little and the cookie will peek through the powdered sugar, giving it a cracked look.
they're a lil gooey and absolutely delicious!

Man that sounds good!! I will have to try that with the strawberry cake!
I posted this in the other thread, but for all you bakers with not enough time - I found Pillsbury Sugar Cookie SHEETS at my Sam's Club. They have 3 packages inside - each with 2 sheets. They are small & rectangular - the same size as the package. I made the Pampered Chef Apple Taffy Pizza for an event, and you start with a cookie cake base. Usually you have to make the dough, roll it out - all that stuff - but this was simple. I put two side by side on my small baking sheet, pressed them together down the middle and popped it in the oven for about 12 minutes - perfect! No muss no fuss. They are made so that you can use your own cutter & depending on the size, they make about 12 cookies per sheet. Plus, they come with packs of red & green frosting if you want really super simple.

These sound awesome!
I won't do any baking until the 20th, when my holiday break starts (yay for a 12 day closing!). I always have to make:
Amish sugar cookies (soft w/ a cake-like texture...to die for)
Pumpkin bread
Cranberry bread
Fudge
Pumpkin pie
Sweet potato pie
Booty cake (What my daughter calls it...Actually "Better than sex" cake  )

Recipe? I'm still looking for an awesome sugar cookie recipe, I have other great ones for seemingly every other type of cookie imaginable, but all the sugar cookie ones I try turn out flat and crunchy. Boo.

I love these! I've always made them with strawberry cake mix, but I bet the lemon ones are amazing, too.

Wanting to go to a cookie exchange in the worst way after reading this thread!  My friend, Gina, and her three sisters-in-law used to get together and bake one entire day. They used to make twenty different varieties of cookies. That was a definite perk of being her friend - I could always count on getting a package of assorted homemade cookies. My favorites were her rumballs!

Oh yea, and one of my coworkers' wives brought in a huge plateful of assorted cookies today, so that's been my breakfast, lunch and snacks.

I just made them and holy hell...what a mess. My tips-let the cool whip come up to room temperature, add a little bit of oil to the mix and use a spoon to drop the mixture into the powdered sugar and then roll it around with your hands. I ruined the strawberry ones but the chocolate ones should come out nicely.
Oh, they're supposed to be gooey and look like they didn't set, right? So hard trying to use a recipe from teh intarwebs...

I think that the recipe said gooey... but how did you ruin a batch? I'm the type who will mess things up so better to know ahead of time...

I'd love to have that link, too, if you don't mind. I used to make those years ago (for the Nationality Rooms), but would love to have my own rosette iron (and the recipe)!
I'm making:
Lemon Squares
Rum Balls
Kahlau Balls
Thumbprint cookies with jam
Some cookie cutter cookies
Black tie cookies
Tea Cookies
plus, one recipe I've never tried before.
I have a friend who makes chruscki (an awesome Polish cookie, also known as Angel Wings), and she'll make us 4 dozen for 4 dozen of my brownies!
