Cookies!

Adam and I (and our fabulous little helper Kinsley) have been making TONS of cookies for the holidays.  I wanted to share some of the recipes since they came out really good.

Cookie #1

These are really impressive.  The dough was easy to make and only needed a few ingredients.  We had fun dipping them in chocolate.  Yum!

Cookie #2

These are visually appealing.  They smell and look like Christmas.  We didn't have red or green sprinkles so we had to improvise.  We seperated the dough in 2 and used food coloring to make the dough red and green.  They look great!

Cookie #3

These cookies were fun to make.  I don't like coconut or pecans so we omitted those from the recipe.  They taste so yummy and I have had trouble keeping myself away from them. 

We also plan on making regular chocolate chip cookies and maybe some peanut butter cookies as well.  I hope our neighbors enjoy our tasty treats!
