Day 18 – Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Gingersnaps
I really wanted to make something with marshmallow this year (even though Zach doesn’t like it – I know he doesn’t like anything!), and my time is running out. With only 3 Days left of 20 Days of Christmas Cookies, I had to come up with something before it was too late! Fudge doesn’t count. […]
Day 17 – Gumdrops
Making candy can be scary. I know it’s scary. I’ve tried making candy so many times and have been so unsuccessful that I’ve thought about giving up on the whole process, until I discovered the wonder that is gumdrops. These little homemade candies brought meaning back in my life, in that I really can make […]
Day 16 – Chocolate Chip, Candy Bar Cookies
These are Zach’s fool proof slightly modified chocolate chip cookies, and I must say he worked very hard on them. =) These cookies are great in their normal state, but with the added candy bar pieces, they are unbelievable. Although, we do have enough to feed a small army because where as I adapt the […]
Day 15 – Hazelnut and Orange Snowflake Cookies
I really wanted to make a cookie this year with all of my favorite ingredients rolled into one. I also wanted to make a cookie that used almond flour. So what happens when these two ideas come together?! You get Hazelnut and Orange Snowflake Cookies. I know it may sound confusing, so let me break […]
Day 14 – Chocolate and Peanut Butter Fudge
Let us be honest. Fudge can be tricky. If you are making what I like to call “real fudge,” you would never ever think to use marshmallow creme, but I am here to tell you that it’s NOT WORTH IT! Use the marshmallow creme! I beg you! If you don’t, trust me, you will get […]
Day 12 – Caramel Butter Bars
Caramel…Butter…Bars…What is not to love about that name for a recipe? I haven’t really taken a stab at caramel this year yet (for Christmas cookies that is). That’s because I have little to no luck with the stuff. I could go on and on about my experiences: about how the last time I tried to […]
Day 11 – Lusikkaleivat (Spoon Cookies)
This is another one of those cookie recipes that I just had to try. I’ve had them before, but I’ve never actually made them. Since this year we have decided to make every cookie imaginable, these were of course at the top of our list! I didn’t realize that they would be so easy though! […]
Day 10 – Chocolate Chip and Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
With this recipe, I have decided to take a page out of my own cookbook and use a recipe of my own! This recipe is derived from my Oatmeal Whoopie Pie recipe, but I’ve excluded the “whoopie” part. Don’t get me wrong, the oatmeal whoopie pies are fabulous, but they just don’t scream Christmas and […]
Day 9 – Double Chocolate White Chocolate Chunk Macadamia Nut Cookies
These double chocolate white chocolate chunk macadamia nut cookies are the perfect sweet treat for any time of day! This is your classic chocolate chip cookie amped up about 5 million notches. We had to do your traditional chocolate chip cookie, but I wasn’t about to go with the standard recipe. Of course there had […]
