Truffles. Make them big from chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. You can flatten them or roll into balls. You can decorate them with some splattering of red and green icing. You can do tons of things with truffles!
It doesn't get any easier then this!!!
Easy Peanut Butter Cookies
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Mix all ingredients in bowl with hands. Roll into 1" balls. Place cookie dough balls on ungreased cookie sheet and press with fork to make criss-cross design on top of cookie. Bake 10-12 minutes & remove from oven. Let cool for a few minutes. Remove from baking sheet with spatula and ENJOY! Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
These are so easy. Just take pretzels in the shapes of bows, place a Hershey kiss on top, place in the oven for a few minutes until the chocolate just starts to melt, take out and put a green or red M&M on top.
We call these cookies Christmas Buttons. You take sugar cookie dough (homemade, a pouch mix or already made in the grocery dairy case) and roll the dough into 1" balls. Roll a dozen in red decorating sugar and bake according to package or recipe directions.
Hi, I love attending Christmas Cookie exchanges but my friends and I always get disappointed when so many have put time and effort to make something pretty and then one or two people end up contributing some cookies that look like they took 5 minutes to make. So here is an easy recipe, that makes tons and tons of cookies and are absolutely beautiful as well as tasty!
1 cup butter flavored shortening
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cream of tartar
Cream together shortening, sugar, eggs, oil, salt and vanilla. Sift all dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture. Roll into small one-inch balls and roll in sugar. Press one gumdrop in center of each cookie. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Should make close to 100 cookies.
Peanut Butter Ritz:
Place a bag of milk chocolate in microwave, add a little bit of olive oil to make the chocolate look shiny, and melt chocolate.
Take two Ritz Crackers and lightly cover them with a peanut butter of your choice on one side.
Put the two peanut butter sides together and once they are stuck together dip and cover entire cookie with chocolate.
I don't know how they got this name; these cookies are tender and delicious, not at all like rocks. My mother made them every Christmas, and they were a real favorite.
These delicious chocolate and marshmallow treats are quick to put together.
