My plan for the whole month of December was Christmas inspired cookies. As it turns out, Hubs still doesn’t have a job, and I didn’t want to spend any $ on a cookie press (which I planned on using this week to make some spitz or butter cookies)… Then, thanks to SugarLoco (follow them on Twitter/ FB/ check out their blog) I found THIS blog post! 100 Christmas cookies!? YES PLEASE! Hub’s picked this weeks Sunday Bakery cookies from the list.  I saved like 10 more into my favorites, and was inspired to “create” a Boozy/ Peppermint/ Red Velvet cupcake (still working on it)! YAY!! But I digress.

Overall these cookies are pretty yummy. The chocolate dough was simple, but a little sticky. Moisten your palms to roll it into balls. I used a tablespoon scoop to measure the size.

The Peanut butter “dough” tastes just like the inside of a Reese’s Cup! AND gave me an idea for peanut butter truffles… I used a teaspoon measuring spoon to scoop out the little balls.

I baked mine for about 9 minutes, because I was waiting for the tops to crack. They never did. L I think they’re a little dry, but maybe that’s because I over-baked? Other than that they’re yummy. And perfect to share… unless you’re a fat kid like me. Then they’re perfect to hoard someplace your family/ husband can’t find them! J

 

Happy Sunday Bakery!
