DPP :: December 9

I spent a lot of time making cookies today.
Last year I ate my words and started making Christmas cookies with Fuller. Today I was making them so I could get out of the house this evening! There was a cookie exchange with women in our church and it was a lot of fun. We got to fellowship and get a wide variety of cookies to bring home to our families.
Above are some of the sugar cookies I made. Some were iced and went to the cookie exchange. Two dozen of them are going to a local school for a father/ son get together this weekend.
I also took four dozen of Chocolate Peppermint Cakemix Crinkles. They are really easy to make and taste really yummy, almost like a peppermint patty.
Here is the recipe:
1 chocolate cake mix
2 eggs
2/3 shortening
1 tsp peppermint extract
Mix together until smooth and shiny. Spoon into balls (I then use a fork to smash them down). Cook at 375 for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle powder sugar on top (do this while the cookies are still warm so the sugar sticks). Cool and enjoy!
You can use any cake mix and change the flavoring (or omit it) for variety.
Do you have favorite cookies you make at Christmas?
