Now, the food portion of the program! Since my husband's snowmobile broke down as we were on our way out of the neighborhood, we didn't ride on Saturday. I baked instead. Notice the Christmas Crappies in the lower left?
The sugar cookie recipe is from Real Simple and the Royal Icing from allrecipes.com. This icing worked better than the Martha recipe I tried last year. Just sayin'.
And these couldn't be simpler. I first got the recipe from Kahla years ago...it's so simple, I probably shouldn't tell you how easy it is! But here goes...buy a bag of mini Reese's Peanut Butter cups. Buy a tube of prepared chocolate chip cookie dough. Cut the dough in slices and then in quarters. Place one piece in each cup of a mini muffin tin. Bake five minutes at 350 degrees. Quickly place a PB cup in each half-baked cookie. Bake five more minutes. Yum.
Good luck with your last-minute activities? What do you still have to do? I haven't wrapped a single gift. Guess that's my answer!
Merry Christmas!

I am finished baking but I might have to try that last cookie. Everyone here loves peanut butter.
ReplyDeleteLove your tags. I was making the candy wrapper boxes and using that same to/from tag you used. I love how you can just punch it out! Thanks for sharing.
I love the tags and your cookies look great!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful tags and yummmmmmmmy looking cookies. Thanks for blessing my day. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat tags. I'll bet your "Christmas crappies" will get eaten as quickly as all the pretty ones. Will have to try the PB cookies. Have a very Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree - it always seems like there's just 'one more thing'! :) These tags are lovely, and the goodies look YUMMO! :) tfs
