Well is everyone enjoying Holly Jolly Week? I know I am.
I've secretly been looking forward to this particular day right here.
Why? Because I love cookies and I know you all are going to link up your favorite Christmas cookie recipe or recipes so I can try them right? Yeah, I thought so!
We'll call it a Virtual Cookie Exchange!
Here is my contribution.
I actually made them for the first time last year and they were a hit.
Simply Wonderful!
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 TBS water
1 tsp vanilla
2 cup flour
1 cup quick oats
1/2 tsp salt
jarred maraschino cherries or Hershey's kisses or miniature snickers! The possibilities are endless
Coating:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 cups flaked coconut, chopped
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar, water and vanilla.
Combine flour, oats, and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture.
Shape a tablespoon of dough around each cherry or Hershey's kiss, forming a ball.
Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 350 for 18-20 mins. or until bottoms are browned. Cool on racks.
Combine sugar and enough milk to achieve smooth dipping consistency.
Coat cookies in mixture then roll in the coconut.
But wait! There's more.
These are requested every year and are a family favorite as well.

Super delish my friend - both sound wonderful! I did a post with a few cookie links for you, but MckLinky says I can't link up til 3:34am my time - HA! Don't think I'll be up then. :) I'll link up in the morning as soon as I have a chance!

I love those snowball cookies with the powdered sugar coating! MMMmmm, they melt in your mouth!
ReplyDeleteYUM, those snowball cookies look pretty yummy! It's a good thing it's December, otherwise they'd be a little fattening,...whew! Thanks to that "no fat in December" rule we don't have to worry about that!
ReplyDeleteOK - linked my post up now! Though my commas didn't show up so it sounds like I have a strange flavor of cookie instead of several kinds. :)
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteWriting down all these fabulous recipes to add to my Christmas cookie baking list!
Love and Hugs ~ Kat

Ok, I totally spaced today and forgot to post my favorite cookie recipe. Ugh! :(
ReplyDeleteWe like to bake cookies and hand deliver them to all of the neighbors along our street. I guess we'd better get busy on that!
ReplyDeleteI still like your dandruff flakes! Maybe you could try to sprinkle/mix some of that coconut with them to make a more dramatic effect!
ReplyDeleteI love baking so love this day a lot! I love seeing other people's recipes too!
