Christmas Cookie Countdown- 23 days 'til Christmas


Today I had three little bakers in the kitchen. My cousin's little sweetie joined us this morning and was an excellent little helper.
(We only had one egg dropped on the floor and 1/2 of the chocolate chips dumped in the bowl before they we were suppose to- BOTH done by my two year old! Ha! To be honest, it really just made me laugh. Having them in the kitchen with me is so fun.... never a dull moment!)

We decided to try out a new recipe and it got three chocolate smeared smiles from three cute little girls.
These chocolate cookies will definitely be made again in this house!

Our Lesson: These "snow kissed" cookies remind us to be thankful for all the beautiful snow that has fallen.

Chipper Crinkle Cookies
(Company's Coming- Christmas Gifts from the Kitchen)

6 Tbsp margarine
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Icing Sugar, for dusting

Cream margarine and sugar in a large bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla. Beat until smooth.

Heat first amount of chocolate chips in small saucepan on lowest heat, stirring often until almost melted. Remove from heat. Stir until smooth. Add to margarine mixture. Beat until smooth.

Combine flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Add to chocolate mixture.
Add second amount of chocolate chips. Mix well.

Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes until edges firm (centers may be soft.)
Cool for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

Dust cookies with icing sugar. Makes 2 1/2 dozen.

  2. you realize posting pictures of cookies on a daily basis is pretty much torture for a pregnant woman :)

    But they look delish!

    How does a bake date sound for our play date next week? Your bakers can join mine - I'm sure a mess made at someone else's house for one day will sound mighty nice after a week or so of daily baking :)
