Christmas baking has officially kicked off in my home. I started off by making up a batch of holiday cheer cookies which were always a college favorite. What is your favorite Christmas cookie?
Holiday Cheer Cookies
Ingredients
2 sticks butter; at room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup toffee pieces
1 cup red and green M&M's, smashed into pieces; i used a rolling pin and rolled it over the M&M's
2/3 cup pecans; chopped I bought mine from Oh Nuts!
2/3 cup honey wheat pretzels; finely broken up
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. With an electric mixer on medium-high, beat the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla for three minutes. Add the egg and beat until just combined.
3. In a separate bowl add salt, baking soda and sift in flour. Reduce the speed of the mixer and slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixture until combined.
4. Stir in toffee, M&M's, pecans and pretzels.
5. Scoop and place on your baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned on the edges. I made bigger cookies so they took 12-14 minutes. If you are making smaller cookies start at 7 minutes and gradually add time as needed. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least five minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
