I don't do a lot of baking at Christmas time (or really ever) but I really want to start. Some of my sweet neighbors brought over a thing of goodies last night. As Harper gets older I want to bake with her and make that a tradition. I know a lot of us always have cookie exchange parties to go to this time of year.
So let's get some good ideas - share your cookies, fudge, treats that you make this time of year!
(My blog friend JESSICA hosted a virtual cookie exchange yesterday you might want to check out also - HERE)

McLinky won't let me post until 7:51pm eastern time? It keeps changing the time though, weird!
I can't wait to see/drool over all the recipes! :) But what's up with MckLinky not working???

I don't do McLinkys, but here is a helpful tip for you...Betty Crocker Sugar cookie mix! Seriously the best and easiest sugar cookie mix I have found. That way you can get straight to the fun part of decorating the cookies (which is all my kiddos care about anyway!) That, and stock up on sprinkles after each holiday...that is what makes for fun (albeit messy!) holiday baking at our house!
I think the McKlinky is messed up! I hope you can get it fixed because I cant wait to see all the recipies!!
I wasn't able to post either but will be whipping up some yummy peanut butter surprise cookies for a holiday cookie exchange tomorrow! If I can't get the link posted here, you can check it out on my blog :)
I posted a cookie recipe exchange on my blog yesterday, so until Kelly's MckLinky gets going, you can find 50+ delicious cookies here: http://jessicaturnersblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/first-annual-cookie-recipe-exchange.html Can't wait to make my peanut butter balls and a few others. xo
Hey Kelly! I just have one question! What is the deal with tile floors in peoples living rooms there?! I am from AL and the big thing here is hardwood floors! I just didnt know if that was "the style" there or if that's all yall have ever known or what! I just wanted to hear what you would say because your so funny when it comes to things like this!!
Thanks! Lindsey
KELLY! i really think we should keep up the "show us your life" after christmas if there are still ideas to do! i love it!
What a creative way to display Christmas cookies! I could use some new recipes. Thanks Kelly!
Yummy Goodness! I linked up to my Cookie Exchange I hosted on Tuesday at www.littlellamas.blogspot.com
I feel SO behind in my baking!
My mom always makes the mini Ritz bits crackers with peanut butter dipped in white chocolate. They are SUPER easy to make, but DELICIOUS!
I would love to be gifted in cookie baking...especially sugar cookies...and decorating them...but I am so not! Mine always look hideous!!! I have spent entirely too much time this year anyway eating those Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes...half the time I'm wanting someone to take them away from me, and the other half the time, I'm needing someone to pick up some more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE SO DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I only have a couple more weeks to enjoy them!!
Jill and I always baked with my mom growing up. Every Saturday night, my mom would roll our hair in pink sponge rollers (for church) and then we would make cookies. Harper needs a sister so it will be even more fun! No pressure though! :)
Thanks for the ideas Kelly.. here's my secret to quick and easy Christmas cookies you can make, bake and decorate in under 30 minutes.. http://www.celebrationideasonline.com/index.htmlperfect if you are baking with little one.. plus free printable holiday themed games like Santa bingo.. you can play while your cookies are baking Happy Holidays
Hey! I just wanted to ask you if you would participate in "Write His Name", a mission I am hoping everyone will support for Christmas... About a month ago, I encountered a woman who had never so much as heard the name of Jesus. So I had the idea that we could all write His name everywhere we go for Christmas. You can read about it on my blog if you would be interested in helping - http://strivingfor31.com
THANK YOU! :)
Well normally I'm good about not craving sweets or baked goods, but that picture just did crazy things to my craving radar ;) thanks, Kelly, I was TRYING to not gain my normal five pounds this winter!!
Oops, I scrolled too far down your blog and thought this was McLinky for Christmas Decorations. You can remove my link, sorry!
