On Sunday we spent the afternoon in the kitchen, playing Christmas music and cooking! In the end we had made lasagna, rolls, pumpkin cookies and sugar cookies. The place was a mess but it was fun!! Afterward I laughed to myself because I had recently seen a friend's blog of their sugar cookie decorating event and it was a far cry from mine... her sprinkles beautifully placed in small glass bowls tied with Christmas ribbons... ours wasn't quite that well put together. But it counts.
I do have two recipies that I thought I could share that are really good and easy, in case you've got somewhere to go and want to bring a quick treat.
Pumpkin Cookies with Chocolate Chips:
1 box white cake mix
1 box spice cake mix
1 large can pumpkin
2 cups (or however much you like) chocolate chips.
Mix the ingredients in a large bowl with an electric mixure. Spoon onto cooking sheet in the size of a ping-pong ball (don't spray pan), bake on 375 for 8-10 mins. Makes 4 dozen.
Mint Brownies:
2 packages Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Brownie Mix, made as they tell you to (the big box at Costco has 6 bags in it).
1 box of I think 24 Andes Mints, unwrapped and placed on top of the brownies right when they come out of the oven. Let them melt a bit and spread them around. Rich and Divine!
