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)

Wine Jelly

Today we are making Wine Jelly

Any type of wine can be used.

Red, White, Rose, Champagne

 

Wine jelly is great for cooking sauces

 and wonderful with cheese, crackers and wine,

or even with peanut butter.

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups wine

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

1 package dry pectin

4 1/2 cup sugar 

1 pat of butter (about 1 teaspoon)

Paraffin Wax

Directions:

  Combine wine, lemon juice, and pectin in a large saucepan.  Bring to a boil stirring frequently.  Add sugar, stirring constantly until dissolved.  Add pat of butter

Return to a rolling boil.  Once at a rolling boil, boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat.  Skim foam off top, if necessary. Ladle jelly into hot sterilized wine glasses leaving about 1/2" from top.

Once the jelly has cooled and set pour about 1/8" paraffin

wax and let harden.  Pour another 1/8" to seal top.

Tie with a ribbon to make a great presentation.

 

Wine improves with age.  The older I get, the better I like it. ~ Anonymous

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-
