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  )

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!

I'm looking at these lists and wondering how long it's going to be before we see a recruitment thread with Christmas cookie types as the code names... 
I don't do a whole lot of baking. I usually just make an apple pie for Thanksgiving, and that's about it. This year, I didn't make the pie for Thanksgiving, so I might make one for the December holidays.

I'm really surprised that we haven't had one with condom brands as code names yet. I really liked Trojan's skit. It showed what their sisterhood is all about.

This thread is making me crave buckeyes!
Here's a great recipe that I got from Southern Living. Everyone at the annual Kappa cookie swap loved them:
Flourless Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Cookies
Prep: 10 min., Bake: 12 min., Cool: 5 min.
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk chocolate morsels
1. Stir together first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl, using a wooden spoon. Stir in chocolate morsels.
2. Drop cookie dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
3. Bake at 350° for 12 minutes or until puffed and golden. (Cookies will be soft in the center.) Cool cookies on baking sheet 5 minutes. Remove to a wire rack.
Yield: Makes 1 1/2 dozen

I'm an idiot and misread the recipe for the gingerbread men and had to make a double batch. I now have a veritable army of little brown cookies mobilized in my kitchen.
As far as keeping gingerbread men soft, you can either try and underbake them slightly (go about a minute under the lowest recommended baking time -- they'll still continue to bake after you take them out) or put them in a container with a slice of bread. The cookies absorb the moisture from the bread and it keeps them soft. (you can also do the same with brown sugar).

Haha alphafrog, your hormones are making you say funny things...or something. I LOL'd pretty hard at that.
I'm about to go make the cake/cool whip cookies, I picked up chocolate and strawberry cake mixes. Hooray for simple cookies.
I'll take pics and post them so you can see how great they look and how awesome sapphiresphinx9 is for the recipe.

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