Bakers Turning Out Batches of Unusual Christmas Cookie Variety in Washington

Everybody appreciates a plate of Christmas cookies at the holidays.  They are wonderful gifts for neighbors and coworkers.  I have a colleague whose partner is an amazing baker and frequently sends treats for the office.

I am partial to her Hershey Kiss cookies with the giant chocolate kiss on a peanut butter cookie.  I love those year-round, honestly.  I'll be in trouble if I don't mention my wife's chocolate krinkle cookie dusted in confectioners sugar.  Her snickerdoodles are pretty amazing, too.

But to each their own.  What are regional preferences for Christmas cookies this holiday?  Washington bakers have a unique recipe that doesn't show up anywhere else.
