    g’morning krafty! I think we’ve been downgraded to a wintery mix; too close the shore.

    Cookies…

    Our girls have been getting together for a day of baking the last few years; making beautiful, and yummy, trays of various traditional cookies. My favorites are the spritz’s, shortbread? the sugar cookie that isn’t real sugary. Also love the peanut butter with chocolate kiss, macaroons, chocolate chip, and brownies (do they count?).

    My little grandson, 4 years old, wants to make gingerbread man.
    Does anyone has a good recipe?

    KGH – my boys like to decorate but not eat gingerbread so I buy them a kit at the store

    This year they have a “village” so they can do their own things. Five and Below had a “Ninja bread man” kit that was cute b/c the cookies look like ninjas

    As for cookies – my mother and I bake for a couple of days usually

    We always have spritz, sour cream frosted (softer than a sugar cookie) and others – we have our special recipes but no longer make every kind every year

    gramma, i think i figured out the singles ad thing on facebook

    i usually have adblock on but paused it to get the wish token and 250 coin on ww

    i did webkinz friends then logged out from facebook and match.com had an ad on the page that popped up – they prolly pay facebook for the advertising space

    December 14, 2013 @ 8:16 pm

    i pkg oreos
    1 8 oz pack cream cheese
    puree in food processor

    roll into 1 inch balls, chill for at least an hour………with a toothpick, pick them up and dip into chocolate, white, semisweet, milk….mocha……..whatever trips your trigger……..chill to set
    if ya have extra chocolate…….prezels, marshmallows, nilla wafers…fruit

    December 14, 2013 @ 8:17 pm

    easy peasy……….a friend gave them to us for years……we moved and told her I had to have recipe…….i was shocked how easy!

    you could probably do with other cookies…choc chip or whatnot..just need a dry cookie

    ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh……gingerbread ones would be good with the cream cheese

    Wow, this is the Best day ever.
    So many ideas,
    momskinz – I love the brownies with peppermint patties

    I would love the recipe for Hazelnut pinwheels

    Krafty, I wish you could be here, I need a friend to bake with, kids are fun but we don’t get much done.

    It was snowing, but I think it is mostly sleeting now. So glad I don’t have to go out.

    Do you remember the candy cane reindeer? I think we might make some of them for the tree.

    I am a great taste tester – hehehehe LOL and I love cookies.

  53. 53 momskinz (WWID: momsownkinz) said,

    December 14, 2013 @ 9:55 pm

    We never made the candy cane reindeer (we would cause some serious baking mischief, KG! πŸ˜‰

    Candy cane cookies, yes my mom made those, the spritz, and cookie press cookies with the tweaked recipe.. vanilla AND almond extract… makes all the difference in taste!

    My mom made a huge variety of cookies/confections for Christmas… I need to get her recipes so one day we can start doing them too.
