May I Suggest

these recipes from Busbee Christmases Past to put you in the Christmas baking mood...

Toffee Crackle Cookies

Santa Claus No Bake Nutter Butter Cookies

And for this year, I can't wait to try the Candy Bar Peanut Butter Cookies from the December Southern Living.This recipe reminds me of my favorite recipe for Monster Cookies given to me by Aunt Cori. It's an easy recipe, I normally have all of the ingredients on hand, it has options for the addition of some healthy ingredients, and the dough freezes very well.

Monster Cookies
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
2 cup peanut butter
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla
6 oz. (or more) semisweet chocolate chips
4 1/2 cups oatmeal
1/4 cup flaxseed meal (optional)
1/4 cup wheat germ (optional)

Mix all ingredients together, shape into balls, place on baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes at 350 degrees.
