Have you guys seen where I have been sharing the 24 Days of Christmas Cookies on the Behind the Camera and Dreaming Facebook page? Join us there if you haven't already, it's such a great place to share ideas!
I just looove holiday baking and it holds some special memories with my mom and sisters. We used to make all kinds of stuff from reindeer food to sausage balls to no bake cookies or whatever new thing we wanted to try that year. We still do the baking, but now with the babies it's a little harder to just hang out late night in the kitchen whipping up sweets until we make ourselves sick from licking the white chocolate off our fingers...
So, last weekend I invited my younger sister Andrea and my mom over to bake a few things so that I could share them with you. We made these pecans and decided to try the peanut butter blossom Christmas trees from the Betty website.
Ingredients
1 pouch Betty Crocker™ peanut butter cookie mix
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon water
1 egg
2 tablespoons sugar
36 chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Directions
- 1. Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, oil, water and egg until dough forms.
- 2. Shape dough into 36 (1-inch) balls; roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
- 3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately press 1 milk chocolate candy in center of each cookie.
- 4. Add sprinkles or decorations to your candy while it is warm from the cookie so that it will stick to the chocolate.
- 5. Remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely, about 20 minutes. Store cookies in tightly covered container.
Aren't they fun? I love that with these cookie mixes we can bake up something special with the limited time we have together! And of course in the eyes of Jonah everything is better with sprinkles, so I love this fun addition to a classic recipe. Add in the coupons that they are offering right now here and here and it is a win-win-win!

DeleteThis is one of my favorite recipes! I actually just ate a cookie like this last night except the cookie was made with molasses! It was delicious! I also love to use the white and chocolate swirled kisses because they look like zebra stripes!
ReplyDeleteThese are one of my favorite cookies. Unfortunately for me nobody in my family likes peanut butter but me. So when I make them I take two for myself and then I give them to a friend.
