I just posted my wishlist for Christmas! Instead of one big gift I'm looking for a few smaller gifts. A pink Christmas sounds like a FABULOUS idea! My grandma makes the best Peanut Butter Cup Cookies that are PERFECT for the holidays. I'll have to email you the recipe!
I saw these boots at pink the other day and fell in love! One particular thing I am asking for is a larger purse because my cross-body bag is too tiny to carry all my stuff!
COCONUT MACAROONS 30 min | 10 min prep | 36 cookies
Ingredients: * 1/4 cup all-purpose flour * 2/3 cup sugar * 1/4 teaspoon salt * 2 2/3 cups sweetened flaked coconut * 4 egg whites OR 4.5 teaspoon Ener-G egg Replacement mixed with 6 tablespoons water * 1 teaspoon almond extract OR vanilla * 1 cup chopped almonds (optional)
Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 325. 2. Combine flour, sugar, salt and coconut in mixing bowl. 3. Stir in egg whites and almond extract. 4. Stir in almonds, mix well. 5. Drop teaspoon fulls onto a greased cookie sheet. 6. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown.
I really want to get the Olympic toque and scarf ... I already have a pair of mittens. Other than that my list is pretty similar to every year ... gift cards, socks, etc.
I really like silvers and blues for Christmas. But the pink is quite gorgeous as well :) LOVE those pink sock/slippers. I am always cold. Theyd be perfect for me <3
This year I'm asking for a Rebecca Minkoff bag, I really hope Santa hears me! My favorite holiday cookie is gingerbread- nothing super fancy, but always delicious!
Ingredients
6 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 tablespoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 cup shortening, melted and cooled slightly 1 cup molasses 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup water 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions
1) Sift together the flour, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon; set aside. 2) In a medium bowl, mix together the shortening, molasses, brown sugar, water, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients, until they are completely absorbed. Divide dough into 3 pieces, pat down to 1 1/2 inch thickness, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. 3) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 inch apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. 4) Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. When the cookies are done, they will look dry, but still be soft to the touch. Remove from the baking sheet to cool on wire racks. When cool, the cookies can be frosted with the icing of your choice.
1 box chocolate cake mix 8 oz cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup butter, room temperature 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 cup Nutella (add more if you like) powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the egg. Then beat in the Nutella and vanilla extract. Mix in the cake mix. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to firm up so that you can roll the batter into balls. Roll the chilled batter into tablespoon sized balls and then roll them in powdered sugar. Place on an cookie sheet lined with parchment. Bake 12-14 minutes. The cookies will remain soft and gooey.
I just came across your blog! I love it! I also love the pink themed Christmas! Very trendy! I went ahead and did the traditional red and green, but only cause it matches my decor anyway!
My fav cookie recipe during the holidays is baking peanut butter cookies then placing a hershey kiss on top! It is so yummy!
Would love to win! I love the PINK brand...you can't go wrong with it! :)

Woman I LOVE your blog. I am your newest follower. I already got my Christmas gift this year ha...a leather jacket! I am posting your giveaway on my blog!
My favorite quick and easy holiday cookie recipe: Follow the Chocolate Chip cookie recipe on the bag of Nestle chocolate chips, but replace the chocolate chips with red & green M&Ms. Super yummy, festive and easy. I always make these when I need something quick for a party.
I love the Christmas decorations that are a pale, frosty blue. They remind me of glassy, frozen lakes and snowflakes and clear skies and more! The pink is adorable though!
For Christmas this year I asked the BF for a new bag... here's to hopin' :-)
Pink is definitely my favorite color! I love the ornament wreath that you have in this post, I'm going to try to make my own via Eddie Ross directions...we shall see how it turns out! I also love your shoe tree, so cute!!
I'm asking for a food processor for Christmas! I need one for all the recipes I want to make.
Every year I look forward to getting Wegmans gift cards. It's a win win since I love to spend Saturday afternoons just wandering around in the store and could easily spend $200 is one shopping trip.
Uhm... it's not really a recipe but my favorite holiday cookies are those pillsbury ones you buy from the stores with the different holiday shapes on them. Those things are crack.
