Christmas Sugar Cookies

Another one of my all time favorite Christmas cookies is sugar cookies. Here again a simple splattering of Christmas color sprinkles to make it look really cheerful. The good thing about decorating Christmas sugar cookies like this is the children can get in the action and have loads of fun! For the recipe just click on the link under the photo of these scrumptious sugar cookies!



Following are some photos of Christmas Sugar Cookies all decorated up!






I'll adding more to this later :)






Snowman Pretzel Sticks

These are just too cute and yummy to eat too!  Children will love to dip this in white chocolate with adult supervision of course. It's called Sweet & Salty Snowmen and I found this at Taste of Home. Click the link below the photo for the recipe and instructions.


Christmas Peanut Butter Cookies

I really love the fancy Christmas cookies but my favorites are the simple ones like the photo before. I found this photo on Ken Pierpont's website. I remember, long ago, when I used to bake all the time, putting those criss crosses on the cookie with a fork. I used to make my cookies from scratch, none of this modern cookie mix in a kit stuff!

I Love the way, to make it festive, red and green sprinkles are used so we'll get the basic yumminess of a peanut butter cookie while it looks so Christmasy! There wasn't a recipe on Ken Pierpont's website so I got one on Food.com.

We have loads of peanut butter so I thought I'd put it to good use and go back to the good 'ole days and bake some batches of homemade, from scratch, peanut butter cookies.

Recycled Children's Christmas Craft: Christmas Goodie Bag

I don't have a proper website to cite this. I found it on a website that did not cite where they go this from. It looks like it's either the small Pringles containers or a tin can. Ribbon is glued around and small tinsel garland lines the top. Fill it up with goodies and place in a cellophane bag. Tie off with curly ribbon and you've got a fun party favor for a Christmas party or to give to classmates.

15 Christmas Lobster Recipes

If you're anything like my daughter and I you've already started talking about what kind of Christmas dinner you'd like to have this year. Well, for a few years now we've discussed having a seafood buffet (with some barbecued steak of course!) but haven't done it yet. Every year we go somewhere else for Christmas Eve and Christmas but this year we may just start a new tradition of staying home on Christmas Eve.
