Hello, my name is Debbie and I am addicted to peppermint chocolate treats. I last had this heavenly combination ..well ummmm … I am eating a cookie as I type. I need something to keep my strength up, LOL!! Seriously , I can not get enough of this Christmas wonderful. Maybe I need an intervention but It is festive and it makes me so happy. My kids are rolling their eyes at another chocolate peppermint cookie.

Chewy Molasses Cookies
I have mentioned in a previous post that I give home baked goodies during the holidays as gifts. This is a cookie that I have been making for years and it has slowly evolved into what it is today. Honestly I didn’t grow up making or eating molasses cookies. Imagine the HORROR, life without the spicy goodness of molasses cookies. A co-worker introduced me to this type of cookie years ago and shared her recipe with me. Originally her recipe had a frosting but I honestly like this cookie without frosting. I have also altered the spices over the years and added a pinch of this and that and finally the perfect molasses cookie that just oozes everything about Christmas. This recipe makes plenty of cookies for gift giving or serving a holiday crowd. Heck , leaving Santa some molasses cookies is a nice change from the old standard sugar cookie.

Double Dark Chocolate Mint Cookies
I don’t know about everyone else but most of my memories of the holidays involve food. Whether it is the Thanksgiving turkey and dressing my mom made or the hours we spent in the kitchen doing our holiday baking. Most of my childhood memories are centered around food and all the yummy aromas. When I was young my mother and I spent several days in the kitchen making holiday cookies, pecan tassies, candies, and breads to give as holiday gifts. I was in fat girl’s heaven!!
