Christmas Cookies

[Neesy]

Those look great Neesy! I think squares count just fine.

Forgot to mention earlier that I used parchment paper based on the feedback on this thread. I hadn't used it before and LOVE it! Thanks folks!

I made another recipe that is quite easy as well - you just need condensed milk, graham cracker crumbs, coconut and walnuts.
(I fancied mine up a bit with butterscotch chips on top).

I actually made these in the morning on Friday before work and brought them in while they were still warm. By 1130 just before our luncheon I cut them up into bars.

Quick Hurry Bars
2 cups (500 ml) graham cracker crumbs
1-1/2 cups (325 ml) flaked coconut
1 cup (250 ml) chopped walnuts
11 oz. (300 ml) Sweetened condesnsed milk

Combine graham crumbs, coconut and walnuts in a medium bowl. Add condensed milk and stir well. Scrape into a well-greased 8x8-inch (20x20-cm) pan. Bake in 350-deg. F. (175-deg. C.) oven for 40 minutes or until wooden pick unserted in center comes out clean. Cool. Store, covered, airtight. Cuts into 25 squares.

I love squares, Neesy! Just not doing any this year for some reason. I probably should have; it would have made my life easier. Today I got interrupted, but tomorrow I'm doing sugar cookies and some more salted chocolate chip. Seven kinds, plus the two breads. I think that might be enough. Maybe.

snicker doodle surprises (they have a rolo melted inside!)

What a wonderful idea! I love Rolos and have wondered if they could be used in cookies or brownies One year I tried putting broken up pieces of Heath Bars in that Mrs Meadows (fake Mrs Fields) cookie recipe. They did not turn out well, they were as sticky gooey as a Slowpoke candy sucker lol.

I've also wondered if cut up pieces of Werther's Original Chewy Caramels could be used in cookies. I think you should try it first

LOL Ok, but not today!

The verdict is... the rolos do better in a thicker dough. I usually do them in peanut butter and they melt alot. They tended not to spread out as much in the snickerdoodle dough. Go figure!

Daughter gives cookies to teachers, we give to neighbors, and I take some to family gathering. Around 180 cookies were made this year! I am tired! LOL Todash, I bow to your mastery of the Christmas cookies! Thanks for the thread, recipes and tips!

Good night all! I am going to bed now.

And it is so much work! - I did this kind of thing back in the 90s - oy vey. Now I just don't seem to have the time or energy anymore.

Great job!

These sound delicious, Neesy!
