This is another recipe from Recipe Girl’s cookie list. Hers are Sparkling Butter Toffee Cookies. Mine didn’t come out sparkly, but they are good. I thought these would be a soft cookie, which is what I prefer, but they are a bit crisp. They would be a great choice if you need to mail them.
I did double the recipe and added the whole bag of toffee chips, rather than just 1 cup.
Please forgive all the sweets this week. I’m trying to post plenty of holiday treat recipes in case you’re still looking for baking inspiration. Tomorrow, I’ll post an appetizer but then it will be back to a few more sweet treats.
You can’t go wrong with sweet-salty candy. I found these on Mommy’s Kitchen. Tina always has such yummy things on her blog. These candies are easy to make, and taste great. Tina also made some with pecan halves pressed in the top, which sounds great to me, but I decided to go with M&Ms to make the kids happy. [Read more…] about Rolo Turtles
These cookies taste like old-fashioned Christmas. The flavor combination of molasses, ginger and orange is wonderful. I found the recipe on Recipe Girl. She has an awesome list of Christmas cookies.
I did make a couple of adjustments to the recipe. I doubled it, because I wanted to end up with more than 2 dozen cookies. I didn’t count how many I had, but it was a lot and it took quite a while to bake them. They’re so good though, I’m glad I doubled it. I made a few other adjustments too.

I think I make more candy at Christmas than cookies. I like to dip things in chocolate.
Peppermint Patties are easy to make, but they do take a bit of time. It’s worth the effort. The recipe makes a lot of candy, plenty to give some away and keep some for yourself. [Read more…] about Homemade Peppermint Patties
Someone on my favorite homeschool message board shared this recipe many, many years ago. Recently, another person posted the recipe again. I’m so glad she did, because I hadn’t made them in a long time. They’re soft and full of flavor, spiced with cinnamon and studded with chocolate chips. [Read more…] about Pumpkin Chip Cookies
