Reindeer Droppings

I woke up with such a scare when I heard Santa call…. “Now dash away, dash away, dash away all ! I ran to the lawn and in the snowy white drifts, Santa’s darn reindeer had left “little gifts”. I got an old shovel and started to scoop Neat little piles of “Reindeer Poop”. But to throw them away, seemed such a waste, So I saved them, thinking ~ you might like a taste! As I finished my task, which took quite awhile, Old Santa passed by and he sheepishly smiled. And I heard him exclaim as he rose in the sky~ “I know they’re not potty trained, but at least they can fly!”

PB&J Sandwiches

This is a great way to bring a classic to a cookie. All you need to do is make peanut butter cookies as normal. The filling is 1/2 cup vanilla frosting with 2-3 tbsp. of peanut butter mixed in. The jelly portion is your favorite jam or jelly flavor. I used a variety of jellies with mine.

Coconut Macaroons

I just love the taste of coconut. The smell of toasted coconut is even better. The boys seemed to like these too, as they were gone pretty quickly.

Surprise Cookies

I can't remember where I saw this recipe one time. The boys were talking about a mint cookie of some sort and I thought of these. I couldn't remember the recipe exactly, but these turned out great and were pretty easy to make.

Ingredients:
2 refrigerated rolls of sugar cookie dough
2 bags (14 oz.) choc mint wafers (Andes)
1-2 egg whites
chopped walnuts, peanuts or pecans, optional

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cut the sugar dough in 1/8 inch slices.
Lay one slice of the sugar dough on cookie sheet.
Place one chocolate mint wafer in middle of sugar dough slice.
Put another slice of sugar dough on top of mint wafer.
Brush with egg white (this will help it brown nicely in the oven).
Top cookies with optional nuts, if preferred.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through.
Cool on rack.
Enjoy!
