Curious about some of our past finalists? Check out these white chocolate peppermint ganache-filled macarons from 2014 finalist Alison Young. She writes: “I made pumpkin macarons for a Halloween treat. They turned out so well, everyone loved them. So I thought, why not try some with a Christmas flair?�

Think you can do better? Well, don’t just sit there! Show us. Enter our sixth Los Angeles Times Holiday Cookie Bake-off. Entries must be submitted by Nov. 14 at midnight.

Click here submit your cookie recipe, along with a short essay about why your cookie is such a holiday favorite. Include a photo if you can; voters will want to see proof.

Every year we get hundreds of entries and thousands of votes cast, so get your recipes up quickly.

You, the readers, will vote online for your favorites. The top 20 cookie recipes will be tested and judged by our Food staff to determine the top five finalists.

The finalists will be invited to the Los Angeles Times for a tour of the Test Kitchen, and will be photographed and featured, along with their recipes, in a Saturday section article during the holidays.
