It says Michael's in the comments section but you can get them online, too.

Every year I make the Russian tea cakes, my family has certain cookies they like each year at holiday time and that's one of their faves, also rainbow cookies are high on the list. My fave is shortbread.

Well the favorite of most of my family is the cherry mash bars. The first time I made them was about 29 or 30 years ago. A few years after that I always had help bringing in stuff from my car. The first one to find the cherry mash bars tried to hide them. Now that we are all grown and most live in different states, I make and send them out. I usually have to make at least 4 batches to have enough to go around.

YES, RECIPE WANTED - I'D LIKE TO TRY THEM AS BARS EASIER TO MAKE THAN ROLLED OR FORMED COOKIES.

I have never heard of or seen cherry chips. Must be a regional thing? I am going to ask my local grocers to see if they can get it.

I make the cherry mash bars every Christmas for my DH.

Re: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CHRISTMAS COOKIE?

we always did butter cookies and seafoam candy. Took them to the neighbors in decorated 3 lb coffee cans. That dates me, doesn't it

Re: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CHRISTMAS COOKIE?

I never cared for them, but my mom made stuffed dates every year at Christmas. Thanks for the memory.

Re: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CHRISTMAS COOKIE?

My mom used to make a black walnut cake. It was my brother's favorite - it was his birthday cake every year.

Re: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CHRISTMAS COOKIE?

I made some white chocolate chip with cranberries and they are one of the best cookies I have ever eaten. I just followed the recipe on the back of the chips but did not use nuts, I added the Craisens and they are just wonderful and very easy drop cookies.
