Heavenly Cookies....Truly!

These cookies are just awesome! They are similar to those wonderful seven layer bars, but in cookie form. I love sweetened condensed milk in anything, well, so far I have not found anything made with it that I did not like!! So I think these cookies are amazing! And no, they really don't have any eggs in them. Give'em a try, you'll thank me!

Cute little men and ladies...

I know the holidays are past, but I just was given the best gingerbread cookie recipe. And come on, these little guys are cute enough (and tasty enough) to eat all year round. My daughter and I had fun making them but more fun decorating them. Let me know if you like this recipe too, or share, if you have a good one...especially holiday cookie recipes.

I also bake annually with my neices and nephews, and Amanda, just before Christmas. I have a blast with them, and their parents get a little free time on Christmas Eve day. Here you can see what fun we have...

Then this year, we added gingerbread houses to the list...I have to say the boys got into this activity. They made two houses and here is the winning (best to them) house. They had a blast and the finished houses, and cookies, looked wonderful. We missed you this year Cody and Rusty!! Look at the fun you missed.

I will post this recipe a little later today or tomorrow. And if you have a recipe to share back, I would love to try it out. We LOVE to eat!! Especially sweets, yummy! Peachy Heart Hugs, Debbie

Yummy Recipe - Candy Cane Treats

Are you like me....the holidays are over and you are left with all these candy canes that no one ate or seems like they are going to eat? Well, I found this receipe...I love to recycle - I had not thought of recycling food, but here you go... These would be great for Valentine's Day right?? I am going to try this with the girl scout troop. The receipe is really easy. Take your candy canes, using wax paper, lay out your candy canes in pairs facing each other. Melt bakers chocolate or chocolate bark in the microwave. Place the melted chocolate carefully into a piping bag or a ziplock baggie, do not fill more than half full. Snip a corner off the baggie if that is what you are using. Fold the excess piping bag over your hand or the baggie and gently squeeze the chocolate out of the bag and into the space between the hearts. Working before the chocolate sets, you can add sprinkles to them to decorate. Allow time to harden, I let mine harden in the refrigerator for a couple hours. This is a great way to use up those left over candy canes that seem to be in the house still come Easter. Hope you enjoy yours. Peachy Heart Hugs, Debbie
