My mom, sister, daughter and I all got together for our annual cookie day on Saturday. I always look forward to this day, but by the end I’m really glad we only do it once a year.
I attempted to make Oreo cookie pops. You are supposed to be able to put a popsicle stick in the double stuff Oreos and dip them in white chocolate. what a fun gift for some of the kids, I thought.
FAIL…..I only ended up with about 5 that had sticks in them. The cookies kept braking on me so I resorted to just dipping them. kinda boring if you ask me. I wanted them to be on sticks. oh well, can’t win them all.
I also made these pretzel, rolo, pecan treats. Still one of my favorites. So easy to make and they are the perfect blend of salt, sweet and chewy. I also made some of this Toffee, but I have zero pics to prove it.
My sister also made these homemade oreo cookies. delish. The filling is peppermint and the cookie is devils food. I think I’ll go have one now.
My sister also made some little almond shortbread like cookies. I think they are my favorite non-chocolate {that’s a whole ‘nother category} cookie. Small, cute, buttery, almond= yummy!
We had lots more that we made that I never got a decent picture of. Honestly, way too many, but we will share.
What is your favorite holiday cookies or candies?

With that first picture of your Oreo Pops I was thinking, "Wow, she's like a Bakeralla!"
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping it real. And aren't those rolo-pretzel-things so yummy. Too yummy and easy.
You guys make some pretty treats.
