Cooking for Christmas

The best thing about Christmas is eating. My mom and I got started earlier this week.





I put Junior Mints in as a middle layer in brownies to make them mint brownies.







Most importantly, our traditional peanutbutter blossum batch, which is more labor intensive than the brownies-from-the-box, but we needed those brownies to have something to eat while we made the cookies.

Once everything is mixed, you roll the dough into balls and then roll the ball in sugar.

Here, Mom is unwrapping Hershey kisses, which will top the cookies.

One for the cookies, one to eat.



You have to put the kisses on as soon as the cookies come out of the oven so you can press them in and make a little crater for them to sit in.
