Dog Biscuits

I made dog biscuits for our dogs and the neighbors dog for Christmas. They were very easy to make and the dogs love them! I thought next year I will make a couple of batches and give them out to all of our neighbors with dogs. This makes a cute gift!

Gingerbread boy and girl cookies

 I wanted to make gingerbread cookies today and decorate them. Here is the before and after pictures of them.

I thought I would have fun decorating the cookies a little differently.

I took marshmallows and cut them in half. Then I dipped the sticky side into sprinkles and glued them on using frosting. They were very time consuming to make, but cute.

Caramel and Almond Heavenly Cookies

Caramel and Almond Heavenly CookiesI had these cookies at a cookie exchange and they were soooo good. This recipe is super simple, fast and good.

First line your cookie sheet with foil. Line up 12 graham crackers and add 1 cup of marshmallows. In a saucepan, melt 3/4 cup butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp of cinnamon and melt together. Once it is melted and sugar has dissolved, take off the heat and add 1 tsp. of vanilla. Pour mixture over the graham crackers and marshmallows.

Add 1 cup of sliced almonds, 1 cup of coconut and 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Put them in a preheated oven set at 350 degrees for 14-16 minutes.

Take them out and cool completely. Cut each square in half to form triangles.

I made these for hubby and he loved them (and so do I)!
