| CHRISTMAS COOKIES - What's your favorite? Share a recipe! I must admit, since moving to Colorado and the lack of snow where I am, has me a little behind in the Christmas spirit. But I thought that maybe making some Christmas cookies today would get me headed in the right direction! Does anyone have a "have to have" cookie at this time of year? Share a recipe? Here is one my friend back in NY gave me for soft cutout cookies to decorate: SOFT CUT-OUT COOKIE RECIPE Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together: 1 C. sugar 1 C. butter 3 beaten eggs 1 tsp. vanilla Mix in separate bowl: 3 C. flour 1 Tbsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt Add dry ingredients to wet mixture gradually. Avoid over mixing. Roll out and add flour as needed to make 1/4" cutouts. Bake 8-10 mins. (Decorate with your favorite icing/decorations when cool). EASY ICING: 1 Box confect. sugar 1 tsp. vanilla 1 C. butter *Milk as needed for desired consistency. |

| A little while ago I was looking on YouTube for how to make a "cookies in a jar" gift and came across this instructional video. Now I just use the cookie recipe and don't make the jars (very cute though)...it's an oatmeal cookie base with M&Ms...a classic! I try to make these at every major holiday with seasonal colored M&Ms. I don't like nuts in my cookies (I'll tolerate the macadamia nuts in white chocolate chip cookies) so I just leave those out completely. It's fool-proof recipe and a crowd-pleaser! I just bought my little green and red M&Ms today "Cookies In A Jar Ingredients & Recipe for cookies How to assemble your jar below the recipe Mason Canning Jars (I used Wide Mouth Mason Jars) 1 1/3 Cup all purpose flour, leveled 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda ¼ teaspoon salt 1 Cup cooking oats ¾ Cup M&M (seasonal is always fun) ¾ semi-sweet chocolate chips ½ cup brown sugar, packed ½ cup white sugar 1/3-1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional) Stir all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add: 1 slightly beaten egg ½ Cup butter (melted slightly) 1 teaspoon vanilla Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Use the back of a large spoon to work it all together. You may need to use your hands to get it all incorporated. Roll the cookie dough into 1 ½ inch balls, place on a parchment covered baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes in a preheated oven." |
