Easy Christmas Cookie Recipes Pt 1

Christmas cookies are a classic holiday treat that everyone loves to enjoy. Making them doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming, however. With the right recipes and a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of delicious, festive treats in no time! Whether you opt for chocolate chip or sugar cookies, these easy recipes are sure to please everyone at your holiday gathering. 

This blog post is a two-parter, as we will have more recipes next week. Stay tuned and enjoy the recipes!

Eggnog Blossoms - The spicy-rich flavors of eggnog add a new holiday twist to a classic cookie shape, and the striped chocolate candies on top make them even more festive.

Cornflake Christmas Wreaths - Cornflakes get dressed for the holidays when mixed with a green marshmallow coating. Shaped into individual wreaths and topped with festive candies, these crunchy treats are a fun no-bake recipe.

Peppermint Bark Cookies - The combination of white peppermint bark atop a chocolate cookie base equals the ultimate holiday treat. This big-batch recipe is ideal for cookie swaps, festive parties or even wrapping up as gifts. It is also easy enough for baking with the whole family. Instead of forming individual cookies, you break the giant sheet into pieces, just like you would with traditional bark.

Smashed Sugar Cookies - We love the imperfection of these festive smashed cookies. The addition of two eggs gives the centers a tender and soft texture, while the crinkled edges get ever so slightly golden and crisp. Top with a simple confectioners' sugar glaze for a holiday treat perfect for a cookie tin.

Peppermint Muffin Tin Cookies - Thanks to the help of a muffin tin, these peppermint-spiked sugar cookies are perfectly round every single time. They're also easy enough for everyone in the family to pitch in to help. Frozen peppermint patties are stuffed in the middle to ramp up the flavor and provide a hidden surprise with the first bite. No need to decorate after baking -- the sprinkles go right on top before going into the oven so that once they are cool, they are ready to go.

Holiday Swirl Sugar Cookies - How funny are these cookies?

Classic Sugar Cookies - These are the familiar cookies, with crispy edges and a slightly soft middle. Superfine sugar gives them their crunchiness. The small amount of baking powder ensures that they puff just a little without spreading too much and losing their shape.

Chocolate Coconut Balls - I think these are my favorite because I love coconut and chocolate together.

Sweet Easter Nest Donuts Recipe

These Sweet Easter Nest Donuts are extremely cute and delicious. They take no time to make and are simply adorable. 

The original recipe comes from Country Crock and after looking at the recipe I decided I would try it with a cake mix. You need a donut pan or maker, obviously, to make these donuts. I purchased a set of silicone donut molds on Amazon. Once upon a time, I had an electric donut maker and I have no idea what I did with it, probably donated it to Goodwill.

The original recipe makes 6 servings but since I was using a cake mix, it made 2 dozen. You can also use a small box of cake mix if you don't want to make as many. In our household, donuts do not last long.

Let's get started making donuts!

Ingredients:

    Supermoist Vanilla Cake Mix or your favorite cake mix

    1 C of water

    1/2 C vegetable oil

    3 eggs

Chocolate Glaze:

    8 oz bittersweet chocolate chips

    2 T light corn syrup

    1 Stick of butter, hot and melted

    1/2 t kosher salt

Topping

    3 C sweetened shredded coconut

    Chocolate mini eggs

Instruction:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush or spray the donut pan with butter or non-stick spray.
   
   
   
2. Make the cake mix according to box instructions.
3. Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the donut springs back when gently poked. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before overturning the donuts onto a wire rack to cool completely before glazing. 
   
   
   
4. Toast the coconut on a cookie sheet tray after baking the donuts. 
   
   
   
5. Once the donuts are cool, prepare the glaze. Combine the chocolate chips and corn syrup in a heat-proof bowl. Microwave it at 30-second intervals. Stirring until melted. Add the hot melted butter and salt, stir until completely smooth. Let sit for 5 -10 minutes to cool and thicken a bit. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. Dip the donuts in the glaze then dip them in the coconut.
7. Place your chocolate eggs in the middle. 
   
   
   

***NOTE - fill the donut pan cavities 3/4 full because you will get a well rounded donut. Also, if you let them set up, the glaze will harden.*** 

We hope you enjoyed this Easter Nest Donut recipe. Do you make donuts? How do you make them with an appliance or a donut pan? Or do you make yeast donuts and fry them? Please comment below.

Happy Easter everyone,

Kelly

No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Coconut Drop Cookies

Ingredients

• ½ cup milk
• 2 cups white sugar
• ½ cup butter
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 3 cups quick oats
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Instructions Checklist

• Step 1

  Mix milk, sugar, butter, and cocoa powder in a large saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Boil, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add oats, coconut, peanut butter, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly.

• Step 2

  Drop tablespoon-sized balls of cookie dough onto waxed paper and let cool in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

• Store these cookies in a cool place (like the back of your refrigerator) if you don't intend to eat them right away.

  It's important to let the sugar mixture boil for a little bit because otherwise, the cookies can be quite "mushy" even upon refrigeration.

Let’s Celebrate National Oatmeal Month with 10 Recipes

***UPDATED 1/6/23***

In January, National Oatmeal Month declares it’s possible to create healthy changes with this grain. Celebrate all month long by incorporating oatmeal in your breakfast and snacks. 

Do you love oatmeal as much as I do? I think oatmeal is underrated. You can do so much with it besides eating it in a bowl. You can make yummy granola, and muffins, add them to smoothies, and a multitude of other delicious food items. It's not only good to eat, you can make a face mask, and add it to a bath to relieve itchy skin.

I found 10 recipes that are not only delicious but good for you. All these recipes come from Delish. You can subscribe to Delish $3 a month or $20 annually. They have some wonderful recipes. 

Tropical Oatmeal with Coconut and Mango 

Cooking the oatmeal in coconut milk gives this bowl a subtly sweet flavor and extra-creamy texture. Topped with mango and toasted coconut flakes, each bite gets you one step closer to the Tropics.

Caramel Apple Pie Oatmeal

Yes, we love apple pie so much that we turned it into oatmeal. Drizzled with caramel, it's a breakfast you won't forget.

Strawberries 'N Cream Oatmeal

Strawberries in cream forever.

Banana Split Oatmeal

The beloved sundae has ingredients we'd normally top on oatmeal: banana, walnuts, and chocolate chips. Oh, and sprinkles, which we're always looking for an excuse to eat for breakfast.

S'mores Oatmeal

You can't act surprised that we found a way to turn an otherwise totally healthy bowl of plain oatmeal into a vehicle for s'mores toppings. Whether you're eating this as a YOLO breakfast or low-guilt dessert, it's a winner.

Maple Bacon Oatmeal

We're still looking for a food that doesn't work well maple bacon flavored. This ain't one of them.

PB&J Oatmeal

Relive your childhood already, jeez.

Oatmeal with Cranberries and Pistachios

If you're the type who doesn't want mini marshmallows and chocolate stirred into oatmeal (we know you're out there somewhere), we got you: Top with maple syrup, cranberries, and pistachios. 

Oatmeal with Apples, Pecans, and Cinnamon

Infused with apples, this oatmeal has all the fall flavors you love most. One of my personal favorites.

Triple Chocolate Oatmeal

We're in love with that cocoa: Stirring cocoa powder into cooked oatmeal and topping it with mini chocolate chips is our dream.

I hope you found a recipe that you would like to try. I am all for adding tidbits to my oatmeal bowl. Do you like to eat oatmeal? What's your favorite flavor or recipe? We'd love to hear from you.

Stay safe and sassy,

~ Kelly
