Christmas Cookies

This weekend I slipped on an apron and baked dozens of Christmas goodies. The first few batches disappeared almost as soon as they emerged from the oven. Two stomach aches later, my boyfriend and I were finally able to resist the sweets.

I'm taking the remaining temptation to the office, along with little bags for each person to wrap up a package of his/her favorite cookies.



Sugar Cookies ...

... with Frosting and Sprinkles*


What are you favorite holiday treats?

*I'm picky about my sugar cookie and frosting recipes. I get rave reviews on my family's recipe and I'm happy to share. Just let me know if you'd like it and I'll send it to you.

    Um, your cookies look pretty much fabulously awesome. It's 8am and I totally want one for breakfast! Would you possibly be willing to email me your sugar cookie/icing recipe? I try a new one every year and would love to check it out - they look so nice & even & fluffy!

    Oh my goodness - chocolate chip cookie dough truffles? Where can I get the recipe???
    And have you tried Oreo truffles?

    My favorite Christmas cookies are chocolate muzzets (probably spelled it wrong, but if you search "Italian chocolate spice cookie", the recipe comes up) and kourambiedes.

    OK I haven't even HEARD of half of these desserts, they look AMAZING! Especially the cookies. I truly love ginger cookies. I let them melt in my mouth rather than chew - try it if you haven't :). Brings the delish factor up a few notches!
    HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

    That fudge looks uh-mazing.

    The first few times I read this, I kept thinking you meant you slipped on an apron like it was a banana peel! I was quite worried.

    Oreo truffles are super easy, you need:

    1 pkg. OREO Cookies, finely crushed
    1 8 oz. block of Cream Cheese, softened
    1 pkg. of mint chocolate candy melts or (or whatever kind of chocolate you'd like)

    Combine the oreos and cream cheese until well blended, roll into balls (about 40) and then dip into chocolate.

    sprinkle or drizzle with whatever you'd like, and pop in the fridge!

    Can't wait to try out the cookie dough ones, sound so yummy...

    Your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles look so tasty! (And pretty if I might say). But it all looks really good, you have me in the mood to start baking!
