Chocolate Chip and Pecan Snowballs

Old-fashioned and delicious, these snowballs (pictured above) were my submission to the neighborhood cookie exchange last year. I love that they have a nostalgic feel and they freeze beautifully. Not too sweet, they go wonderfully with your afternoon coffee.

After Eight Chocolate Mint Cookies

Chocolate mint is a delicious combination any time but it always makes me think of Christmas. I love After Eight mints with their dark chocolate coating. YUM! I think I will be making these decadent cookies from Doing All the Things Christmas.

Lemon Angel Wing Cookies

Though these cookies from Ruff Ruminations are a bit time consuming, they are worth it! Light and lemony, Angel Wings are also egg free in case you have someone with allergies to bake for.

No-Bake Peanut Butter Crunchies

Delicious does not always have to mean time consuming. These delicious peanut butter crunchies come together in less than ten minutes. Have a bit of extra time? Drizzle them with chocolate for an even more decadent treat.

Crispy Crunch Cookies

Crispy Crunch is full of delicious crunchy, peanut buttery goodness. So when you wrap that goodness in butter cookie dough? Winner, winner chicken dinner! If you can’t find Crispy Crunch bars near you (like in the US), a Butterfinger would work too.

Grandma’s Whipped Shortbread

Shortbread has always scared me but I must try to make this whipped shortbread recipe from Maija’s Mommy Moments this Christmas. So buttery and delicious!

Saltine Caramel Chocolate Crunch

Around here, this decadent treat is lovingly called “Crack”. Basically because you will eat it all until it is gone because it is very, very addictive. Make a few batches, package them up and you will be everyone’s favorite friend. Yes, it is that good.
