Christmas Goodies

This year I was going for quality instead of quantity hoping I wouldn't gain as much holiday weight- it didn't work!


We bought some hand-dipped chocolates from my friend Michele.


We bought Nanaimo bars from Costco. Currently, my favorite dessert ever!


We decorated sugar cookies to leave out for Santa on Christmas Eve.

I made up a batch of Cheery Chipits Christmas Cookies to give to our neighbors.

A stack of 20 cookies fills a cute little wine bag up to the top.

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients-

2 C butter

2 C sugar

2 C brown sugar

6 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

4 bags of Chipits

(I used dark, milk, white chocolate, and butterscotch- you could also add nuts)

4 C flour

5 C oats

1 tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp baking soda

Wet Mixture-

Cream butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Add Chipits.

Dry Mixture-

Mix flour, oats, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

Combine with wet mixture

Roll into balls and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes at 375*F.

Makes 12 dozen cookies (recipe can be halved).
