Thanksssssssssssssthhhhhhhhhh !!!! I wish I had one in my mind to quickly add but I’ll just post the one I had on my site… Easy Mr.Goodbar Cookies… 1 package Duncan Hines mix… mix up as directed…add 1 or 2 LARGE, thick Mr.Goodbars in chunks…. bake…Walah !!!
ooopsies, should clarify the Duncan Hines is a Peanut butter cookie mix…not a cake mix…
You know, I had never heard of a cookie exchange until THIS CHRISTMAS!!?? Where have I been?? (LOL)
Your little girls first Christmas dresses are absolutely adorable!! I’m sure she looks like a little christmas angel in the plaid. I LOVE plaid. 🙂 I’d like to think it’s the “Highlander” in me….but I’m not sure that I have Highlander in me. (Grin)
Hope your weeks been great….my kids are finally getting better- but now I have a cough. 😦
sounds simply delicious!
Oooh, one of my all-time favorites! I also make a variation of that where you put a candied cherry half in the center before you bake (inside, not on top). After they cool, I tint some powdered sugar/milk icing different colors and put sprinkles and colored sugar on them.
i’ll make these tomorrow! 🙂
I wish you were able to come to the family cookie bake. Your mom and I rolled these in powdered sugar together. It was a lot of fun! We will definitely have to make cookies together with our kids next time you come over.
Love – Col
Sounds yummy! I’ll have to try them! 🙂
I’m hosting book group this Sunday; these will be a perfect treat!
