Christmas Cookies

Every year, I bake cookies to give to friends and family for Christmas. Todd always takes some to give to his co-workers too. I always try at least one new recipe and this year it was Oreo truffles. They were delicious but extremely rich. I think they would be better with a white chocolate coating.

I participated in a cookie exchange earlier this month for the first time. It was something that I had been wanting to do for a while but never knew enough people who were interested in participating. I really like getting a variety of cookies that I had never tried before.

I made chocolate crinkles, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip meringues, and chocolate peanut butter bars....are you sensing a theme here? It was not intentional. We always take the leftover cookies to our family gatherings and everyone enjoys them there. If we don't eat them first....

Oreo truffles rock. I've used both white candy melts and real white chocolate. I actually prefer the candy melts.

And yes, they are rich. And wonderful...

I like your theme! It is the same theme I always choose.

Todd delivered your container of goodies to me this week. We haven't really gotten into them much because I've been busy baking too, but what we've had has been delicious! Thank you so much for thinking of us... I'm just sorry I wasn't able to send you guys anything this year since my vacation started before my baking did! We hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
