Christmas Treats!

RE-POST!! I am so happy to share 3 of my favorite sweet treats. One from my Mom, one from my Mother-in-law and a cookie recipe from ME! How fun!! Yesterday, Jack and I made the Reindeer Cookies and switched them up a little. The result was fantab!! I replaced the craisins and the raisins
for dried cherries and dried apples. YUM!!!



Reindeer Cookies

3 eggs

1 1/4 c brown sugar

1 c sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

1 jar Nutella (you can use peanut butter)

1 stick butter, softened

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/2 c m&m's (holiday mix)

1/2 c golden raisins

1/2 c craisins

2 tsp baking soda

4 c oatmeal (quick cooking)

Preheat oven to 350. In a very large bowl combine eggs & sugars then add each ingredient and mix. Bake 8-10 mins. Yummy!!



Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball

This is the best little addition to any party! My MIL introduced this to me years ago when Hubs and I were first dating. I have taken it so many places for so many different things and everyone always wants the recipe. It is great served with graham crackers.

1~ 8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 stick butter (don't substitute, will not work!)

1/4 tsp vanilla

3/4 c conf. sugar

2 Tb brown sugar

3/4 c mini choc chips

3/4 c chopped pecans

Mix all ing together except pecans, chill overnight so that you can roll into a ball and roll ball in pecans. Delish!



Tina's Kentucky Pie

1~ 9 in pie shell

1/2 c choc chips

1 c sugar

1/2 c plain flour

1/2 tsp vanilla
