Yummy Desserts

Today I made some yummy cookies to share with the Miller's, who were coming over for dinner. I got the recipe during Food Networks 12 Days of Christmas Cookies. I thought that they looked absolutely delicious, so I gave it a try. They are Giada's Peppermint Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, and yes they were worth it. Although I made one change (in case you decide to make them) instead of chunks of candy canes on top, I used chunks of candy cane Kisses, much softer.

This conversation happened right before I took the picture below.

Jack: Cooie (Cookie)
With lots of jumping up and down and pushing mommy, plus a little whining

Mom: No, not 'til you have had dinner.

I made these black and white cupcakes for Lucy's blessing. I was so happy that they turned out exactly like the ones I saw on TV. I made them from scratch and would have been so mad if they didn't work. I didn't get to try one, but Sean said they were a little dry. Probably because I forgot to put them in an airtight container overnight. Oh well, there is always next time.

If you would like either of the recipes let me know and I can direct you to the websites.
