What Kind of Cookies Do You Leave for Santa?

Christmas is a special time of year for many reasons. For many this food-centric holiday revolves around lots of food and a ubiquitous jolly man donning a large red suit.* Santa Claus is a happy guy who loves his sugary carbs. 

But before we pass judgement on the man for his growing waistline, I think we need to dig deep and think about our role in his Big & Tall preferred customer card. Are we to blame for feeding him plates of cookies and milk? 

For those of you who celebrate the holiday, we want to know from you enablers, do you share your baking loot with the big man? And if so, what's your cookie of choice?

*I admit this is an oversimplification, but our lens here is food so let's just go with it.

I'm borrowing heavily from The Parsley Thief's guide to holiday baking this year. We'll leave Santa some sugar cookies, some Mexican wedding cakes/kourambiethes, and if he's really lucky, some chocolate crinkles (this is the first year we've planned to leave anything other than sugar cookies).
