Gingerbread Gooey Butter Cookies
These cookies are Christmas cookie perfection! They have such a wonderful texture, just the right touch of sweetness, and so much rich warmth from the spice blend. The ingredient list is a little daunting, but it's well worth it. And it makes a pretty good sized batch of dough, so you can prep the dough, and keep it in the fridge (covered) - and as needed pull out enough to make a couple sheets of cookies, then popping the dough back in the fridge! Fresh cookies in a flash!
Pig Picking Cake III
This is my daughters favorite. It is an easy mandarin orange cake with pineapple, nuts, pudding and whipped topping. Whip one up and it's pig-out time!
Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Macaroons
Even first-time cookie makers can pull off super moist, tender, chewy macaroons. Using sweetened condensed milk streamlines the operation and produces a very nice texture. Simple to make and easy to transport, these are the ultimate cookies to bring to any potluck. Just stick an almond inside each macaroon if you want to relive that chocolate-coated coconut-filled candy bar of your childhood.
