Christmas Baking

I spent most of the day Wednesday baking, baking and baking!  It was fun but I'll admit I'm glad to have it completed and my kitchen bake to normal!  Here are a few photos of the tasty treats I made this year.  Every year I give baked goods as gifts throughout the holiday season.  I love packaging up the goodies and everyone always loves something yummy.

Holiday Crunch - This is my personal favorite, no baking and super easy!

 I haven't made these in a long time, but I had all the ingredients already and thought they would be a good addition.

 These cookies were SO good!  I put a little twist on a "monster cookie" recipe I made earlier this year.  I made oatmeal cookies and added Christmas M&M's, chocolate chips and chocolate covered cranberries. The cranberries make the cookies extra delicious.

I baked most of the cookies just as the recipe says, but my brother loves Reese's peanut butter cups.  So I baked a batch of these stuffed with PB cups, they have a whole PB cup in the center.  Yes, they are gigantic but he'll love them. 


 I found this recipe via Pioneer Woman, they're called "Forgotten Kiss Cookies", they have a Hershey's kiss in the center.  I added Christmas M&M's and think to give it a little Christmas spirit I'll call these "Mistletoe Cookies".

 My grandfather's favorite, haystacks.  He's already asked when I'll be delivering this sweet holiday tradition.

 At the end of the day, I had baskets assembled, tins packed and flour on every inch of my kitchen.  Tis the season!!

Merry Christmas!!
