One thing you probably don´t about me is that I love to cook and bake etc, I don´t do it much cause well I´m creative in some other ways, but I really do like the process of baking and measuring the ingredients and then the yummy result.
Every year we give Christmas cookies to our friends and family, is something we enjoy doing (even if by the end we are exhausted) and I think they like them too, this year our cookie "repertoire" included:
Some of the ingredients to make oreo balls. I think Oreo Balls are so easy and fun to make and once you get the hang of them they are a blast to make.
This is the making balls process, I know mine are not that round but once you cover them in chocolate it you don´t even notice it.
Oreo Balls in the making
Oreo Balls finished and I put a bit of shreded coconut on top and used the little gold paper cups.
Coconut macaroons are not my favorite thing to do at all, my mix was runny, they would not bake and they were simply not fun at all, I managed to save a few of them but really not trying that again unless I find a video of how they should be done or someone comes and shows me how!
The cheese fudge is Diana´s favorite is super easy to make and very yummy, the ones that have tried it really like it, I love Paula Deen´s recipes.
This is the pepermint bark and that was the easiest one to do, basically melt chocolate, and crush candy and thats it, and is super good.
This is what our goodie plate looks like
A view of the plates ready to be wrapped.
We made 15 plates and 15 baggies, this is what the baskets looked at the end.
And this is a baggie.
Last but not least, I really didn´t have time to do some proper tags so this ones by K& Company from their Swell Noel collection worked awesome I simply but some bling or stickles and that was it, the name was stamped with a basic office stamp that you can make your own phrases.
So now we´ve been delivering them and hoping they enjoy them and makes them have a sweet Christmas, to the ones that will get one hope you like them and know we made them with tons of love, care and above all chocolate.
And the gifts were awesome, tons of scrapbooking supplies, Diana got a popcorn maker and a few goodies to go with it (she looooves popcorn), and I got......an Amy Butler scrapbooking bag!!!!! In Pink and with goodies inside!!!!!!
