Hi everyone. I do a lot of baking around Christmas time. Everyone in my house likes to take baked goods to work. I made these 2 recipes with my own sugar cookie dough and cookies. But they can both be made with the storebought tubes of cookie dough. I know not everyone likes, knows how or has time to bake.
Reeses snow balls.
Sugar cookie dough, homemade or storebought.
1 bag if Reeses miniature peanut butter cups.
Take a piece of dough and slightly flatten it. Put a peanut butter cup in the middle, place another piece of dough on top and roll it into a ball. Repeat until you've used all the cookie dough. Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes until golden. When cool enough to handle roll each ball in powdered sugar.
Sugar cookie truffles.
12 homemade sugar cookies or store bought. If you make these with store bought cookies use fresh baked ones from the store bakery section. Get the unfrosted ones.
3 tablespoons of softened cream cheese.
White chocolate chips.
Candy sprinkles.
Crush the cookies well and add the cream cheese. It's easiest to do it in the food processor but you could do it by hand. Once its mixed it should be stiff enough to form balls. Roll the cookie mixture into balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Melt the white chocolate chips and dip each ball and coat it. Sprinkle it with candy sprinkles and let the chocolate set.
Both of these are really good. Of course I like the Reeses ones the best. Lol. I have also made chocolate chip cookie dough bites. Just roll chocolate chip cookie dough into balls and then dip them in chocolate. I don't suggest you use storebought cookie dough for this one. Store bought dough usually has eggs in it and you aren't supposed to eat raw eggs. I just make the standard chocolate chip cookie recipe leaving out the eggs.
