Christmas Gifts From My Kitchen - Baking Day

 Hello Friends,

Today, I'm pulling out the Christmas cookies recipe cards. This is one of many traditions that my family will enjoy through this holiday season.

First on the list is this very easy pretzel chocolate/ caramel bite.  Melt a little white chocolate and then dip pretzel sandwich in white chocolate then colorful sprinkles.

Who doesn't like Oatmeal Raisin cookies? 

This recipe is a family favorite any time of the week from my all time favorite Betty Crocker Cookbook. For Christmas I sprinkled red and green sugar sprinkles on each cookie.

Peanut Butter Blossoms is a family favorite that get baked up at least once a month at my house, also recipe from Betty Crocker Cookbook.

Lastly, my husband makes the best chocolate chip cookies using Nestle Toll House original chocolate chip recipe, that every one loves.

I've gathered all the cookies that we made today and put them into these very cute tins that I lined with a Christmas napkin. I purchase these tins from my grandkids school fundraiser this fall. 

Thank you for stopping by, I hope I have inspired you to start baking some special treats for your family and friends.

May God Bless You and Your Family,

Happy Valentine's Day

I didn't have class today, so I decided that this was a great day to make cookies! 

I used the recipe that called for one box cake mix,1/2 cup of cooking oil, and two eggs, bake @350* for 10 minutes let cool.  I made a powder sugar icing added a little red food coloring to make it pink.  I also added a few drops of red food coloring to a 1/4 cup of white sugar to sprinkle on top in the shape of a heart using a small heart shape cookie cutter. I think they turned out great!

Did you make cookie today?

Happy Valentine's Day
