Peanut Butter Chocolate Smooch Cookies

We just have to share this

quick, simple and

cheapo depot

cookie recipe.

We were trying to come up with a way

to make our $0.75 roll of cookie dough

a little special.

Yep! 

You did read that correct.

$0.75

And we are talking the HUGE roll.

We knew about placing a Hershey Kiss into the cookies,

but did not have any on hand.

Lo and behold hiding in the pantry was a bag of

Milk Chocolate Chips.

So our cookies became

Peanut Butter Chocolate Smooch Cookies.

Ingredients:

Peanut Butter Cookie dough

Milk Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Shape teaspoon size dough into balls.

(we like bite size cookies, so we use a little less per ball)

Place on a cookie sheet.

Bake for 9-13 minutes until golden brown.

Remove to cooling rack and place chips into warm cookies.

Now for our special tip for the day.

Make sure the oven is at 350

NOT 500

or your 1st batch of cookies will look a little like this.

(can you see we are trying to get your eyes off the burnt cookie)

Cookie Exchange Idea

Did someone say Party?

Chameleon Girls

Love a good Party.

Is there better time of year to get together

with family and friends and share your favorite

cookie recipe?

This is our recipe that we are sharing with our friends.

Cookie Burst

What goes better with cookies that a glass of cold milk?

NOTHING!

We are going to show you a special way to serve milk

at your Cookie Exchange Party.

Plastic Wine Glasses

White Frosting

Sprinkles

Pour the sprinkles onto a small plate or bowl.

Spread a think layer of frosting onto each glass.

Dip each glass into the sprinkles to cover frosting.

Now you have a fancy glass even the kiddos can enjoy.

Just think Santa might leave a extra goodie for

parents that put that much thought into his

cookies and milk.

At the end of each post we like to share a favorite quote

so this is our Christmas gift to you-

Thumbprint Cookies

Thumbprint cookies are one of the classics.

Who can resist a buttery cookie filled with jam.

Especially homemade jam.

We are using our

Strawberry Fig Jam

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter (2 stick or 8oz.), room temperature
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Pinch of salt
• 2 cups of flour
• 3/4 jam (your favorite)
• Parchment Paper
• **Optional** 1 cup chopped nuts- We use Praline Pecans in ours.

1 Cream the butter and sugar for 3 minutes. 

2 Separate the eggs.  Add the egg yolks and vanilla to the butter mixture.

3 Add the flour and salt.  Mix until combined.  Place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.

4 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

5 Roll the dough into 1 inch balls. 

6 If not using nuts skip to number 8.   In shallow dish whisk the egg whites until bubbly and frothy.

7 Dip the balls into the whites and roll into the nuts.  Pat the nuts so they will stay on the cookies.

8 Place ball on parchment covered cookie pan.

9 Press down with your thumb to make a small well in each cookie.  Don't press too hard or the cookies will break apart.

11 Bake for 12 -15 minutes or until slightly firm.  Allow to cook on pan for a few minutes then move to wire rack to finish cooling.

12 Grab a big glass of milk and enjoy.
