Frosty the Snowman

I made snowmen for my Daughter's classroom Holiday Party. I ran out of time to make scarves for all of them though. These aren't my favorite cookies, as I time-crunched myself and was forced to do them quickly, but they'll work. You'll never know how sloppy they were once they're eaten. :)

Cookies, cookies and more cookies

Last week I attended a cookie exchange get together. I couldn't decide which kinds to make, so I made two different varieties. The first ones were macaroons dipped in chocolate. The other batch was pumpkin cookies drizzled with both chocolate and regular glaze.

Santa Hat Cookies

I made these Santa Hat Meringue Cookies from a recipe in the Family Fun magazine. They were real easy and they taste great!

1 Tbsp. Cinnamon

1 Tbsp. Nutmeg

1 tsp. Salt

1 Tbsp. Vanilla

1 Large pkg of milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips

In Large bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs, then pumpkin. Add baking powder, baking soda, salt and all spices to about 2 cups of the flout, then pit into creamed mixture and blend together well. Add additional flour and vanilla. Mix well.

Gooaaaal!

As a gift to the kids on my Daugher's soccer team, I decided to bake some soccer ball cookies. One of the Mom's called me regarding the end of season party and I had mentioned I was making them. She thought it was a good idea and decided to opt out of buying a cake in leu of the cookies. I made enough in case there are any siblings at the party and also had to make enough for another team and their siblings.

I'm not entirely thrilled with the result, as I always have issues using this frosting in small spaces, it causes it to dip and create holes. Oh well. It's all going to be eaten anyway right? :)

Turkey Treats

Here is a fun Thanksgiving treat you can make with your kids...

Made from Oreo's

Chocolate frosting (from a can)

Candy Corn

Red Hots

Whoppers

Split the Oreo in half take a little chocolate frosting and spread some on both pieces of the cookie. Use the candy corn to make feathers and placed on top of the chocolate frosting (to help the candy stay in place). Stick a whopper on the other piece of Oreo and tiny bit of frosting on top of the whopper to hold on the red hot and then place the feather side of the Oreo on the piece with the whopper and there you have it a simple turkey treat that the kids will love!

Tidbit of information

I opened up this blog to my friend DeAnna to also share some of her dessert creations. She's made some really pretty cakes and cupcakes that I plan on emulating at some point. :) Here's a snapshot of the cutest cupcakes ever that she made!
