3 Easy Holiday Treats | Saltine Cracker Toffee| Best Sugar Cookies |White Trash Mix

[@jeanniesbeanies9900]

My cut out cookies are always a favorite on my trays. Sweet, soft and delicious! ( frosted or plain!) I mix the batter and chill overnight then bake the next day . We used to save them for an activity between Christmas and new year when the kids began getting bored and fidgety, now our10 year old granddaughter comes over to frost and decorate. Man, does that girl have the decorating moves! She'll be here today, as a matter of fact , and has a box full of trees, stars and stockings waiting for her to work her magic on. :)

[@donniethurmon6765]

Hey, Amy, Angela here! Last year you inspired me to TRY making cut out cookies for the first time. After watching you roll them out and cut them out, I thought, I CAN do that! I used a recipe I had found from a baker that I had saved years ago and they turned out perfect and tasted better than any I had ever eaten. Also I used the cookie frosting from Walmart. The great value. It is so good, amazingly. The recipe for cookies used vanilla and almond extract and were not too hard or too soft but were just right! Now I am going to try the crackers you made. They looked really good! Thanks for inspiring us to try new things!

[@marystevens6245]

The apartment complex I live in we do a lot of puzzles the put them on cardboard and glue them together and they are hanging everywhere and the look good better then blank hallways. Good luck with yours. We hang them with pushing. We glue them together with Elmer school glue

[@sherrymckibbon5265]

Thank you Amy for spending time with us. And thank you for just being You. God's blessings.

[@juliemoore6957]

You should make tee shirts with your affirmation in the beginning of your videos! "I am a daughter of the King...". I would totally buy that!

[@amymaryon]

This new year...I am going to be working on some of them. Thanks for this idea . I'm saving and if i get it made...you get a free shirt 🙂

[@blackrose1991210]

I did cookies today as well I did peanut butter, mint chocolate chip, and regular chocolate chip... it felt like-37f all day here in Iowa so it kept the house nice and toasty

[@samanthazehr9965]

My daughter had a smaller puzzle that she glued together and just did push pins and it ended up warping/bending. I think we just used Elmer's glue though, maybe the actual puzzle glue would keep it from bending. We are doing sugar/cut out cookies tomorrow. My daughter, home from college, requested them. Have a wonderful day, see you tomorrow!!🙂❤

[@nldube0012]

I did I similar recipe this year for cutouts and they turned out great. I like doing them with my son's grandma.

[@Barbaracoyle]

Good morning Amy, thank you for sharing another video. Have a blessed Thursday

[@alexachenbach821]

I do cut out cookies my grandkids love them.

[@veganashley7]

I laugh every time you say your kids don't like potatoes because I could eat them all day everyday in any and every form lol. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@shirleyharvey7953]

I had a present wrapped under the tree for my cat,a bumble bee with catnip in it and she found it and ripped it open.I had to rewrap it and put it up till Christmas,animals know.God bless and Merry Christmas.

[@kimberlymilesfuller6742]

I have always done sugar cookies from my mother's old Fannie Farmer cook book for cut out cookies. I'm in my 50s. My mother taught me to cook from that cook book. I have learned to put the cut out cookies on parchment paper on cookie sheet when baking them. It's just better for me I think....

[@dancieteague6854]

We did cut out cookies yesterday with grandson it was fun. I watched Moss tv she used Betty Crocker sugar cookies mix added flour rolled thin. We had so many cut out that we got tired. We decorate for ever and had a blast but the ones not frosted I am loving the flavor and my son loves the decorate ones. So easy and fun.

[@tifferz1091]

Another way to do the puzzle is clear contact paper. My grandma used to do that less mess and you don't have to wait for it to dry.

[@sherrypowers552]

Kids are grown and gone. Still love making my sugar cookies with my grandmother's cookie cutters.

[@Marajaid]

Never glued a puzzle but wouldn't you need poster board or foam board as the backing? Love the idea!!

[@donnajakubos4249]

Didn't want to do buckeyes as the dipping is a pain, so did them in bars,super simple, just cut them in one inch squares yay a win👍

Yes

[@karenselogic7742]

and clear glue will work. we used the school glue on ours and it worked fine.

❄️ 🎄 ❄️ Merry Christmas from south central Wisconsin... I had to chuckle when you said Christmas was expected to be cold there... We currently have about 10 inches of snow and are in negative digits today with a blizzard warning for next 3 days and predicted wind chills of -50 F! While we often get this type of weather, it's usually in January and February. Thank you for sharing!

[@amymaryon]

We are from Michigan so i know that kind of cold...:) Stay warm

Amy, all of us moms wear our comfy clothes out lol and you looked amazing in your outfit yesterday. Btw those slippers look super comfortable. Whoever and wherever those where purchased… amazing!!! Simply amazing. Great video today.

Thanks Erin 😊

[@suzinettles5228]

Amy we call that Christmas Crack! We have made it with saltines, Ritz crackers, graham crackers....they are all delicious! Don't cut....break them into pieces. That makes it fun!

[@lanyrogers5707]

Loved this video Amy! I have made Peanut butter cookies, blueberry muffins, snicker doodles, chocolate chip cookies, banana muffins, cranberry oatmeal bars and refuse to make cut out cookies this year. No one eats them and food is too expensive to throw away. Thank you for sharing, I now attend your church online and I truly enjoy pastor Andy's Peace on Earth message. Also the worship service is awesome. Merry Christmas and many blessings to all of you.

[@amymaryon]

I'm glad you found the online a place to be . We like to call it home ❤️

[@chrisr.1803]

I didn’t like making the cut out cookies either! I would put peppermint flavoring in the frosting. My kids devoured them!

[@stacyrich113]

I always put the stink bugs outside. I actually think they’re kind of cute. 😂

[@cabacardi-c8s]

We love gathers fragments, but it’s time to get the big can of Old Bay seasoning. In Maryland we put it on everything. You should try the Old Bay Hot seasoning.

I hate doing cut outs, they take forever but they’re my husbands favorite, so momma makes them!

[@nancyloshe9027]

I hate to make cutout cookies, but I do it for my son. (He’s spoiled…lol) I mailed some to him, and costs more to mail then if I would send him money to go buy some! I made the Christmas crack toffee and ate the entire pan myself…it is additive!

[@marieholzwasser9224]

Amy, that's me!!!! I love the taste of sugar cookies but I hate cutting them out. I guess I can grin and bear it...Christmas comes once a year.

[@mollysmith6055]

My family love, love, love cutout cookies and like you I dislike doing them. But I don't want to disappoint them and do have to admit that sometimes a little decorated cookie with a cup of tea is such a nice treat. (I always frost cutout cookies.) Over the years I've collected a huge amount of cutters for all different seasons. $1.50 butter is an excellent price these days! The lowest I've seen it on sale (and it was a limit of 2 per customer) is $1.99. We love those saltine toffees and there is a good reason they're often called 'Christmas Crack', haha. Hope your area won't have a tough time in the big storm.

[@alexachenbach821]

Hi Amy Merry Christmas.

[@kimberlygaskin604]

The cracker recipe is also called Christmas crack. You just break it up when done and serve.

[@rosemariemoore3859]

when i make the saltines cracker candy (by the way we call it christmas crack LOL) i put crushed pretzels on top after the chocolate has been spread. it cuts the richness and sweetness

[@amymaryon]

Ohh yummy

[@GAPeach58]

I found a recipe on the web for Maple Syrup Pancake cookies. Maple syrup is in the cookie & in the glaze. They looked & sound delicious. When I was growing up we started making Christmas cut-out decorated sugar cookies & other holiday cookies, on the Thanksgiving weekend. By Christmas I know my Mom was tired but, we had lots of cookie tins filled with goodies. I miss Mom & those days. 🍪❤

[@lisawilson5662]

You can use elmers glue for puzzles it has to be diluted a little with water to spread evenly. I never tried it because I always thought modge podge on hand. My Dad hung Mom's puzzles in the garage and used nails it worked, but I am sure you wont want to do that to your walls. They do make puzzle frames they are like poster frames which would work the same way. The bitter cold/snow is heading in today hasnt reached me yet but its just over the border in Missouri. It will be drifting south to you so bundle up!! Merry Christmas to you and yours!! 💜💜

[@amymaryon]

We used nails :) figured i would leave them up forever 😂

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Amy. Long time subscriber but rarely comments. The one cookie I make every year (and dread) is kolaches (balish). I saved my puzzles and used matte mod-podge and it worked great. To hang mine, I used poster frames. They have been up for awhile and one of them did start to bend a tad over time. Merry Christmas to the Maryon Family.

[@amymaryon]

Thank you

[@karenselogic7742]

you should get some felt thats little bigger than picture and glue it to the back as a boarder around the puzzle.That wayn you can put tacks in the felt and not the puzzle its self.will end up looking like a frame around it.

[@amymaryon]

Smart thank you

[@karenennis6109]

Good morning. Yes I wear jogging suits or Leisure shitzu or whatever you want to call it the law suit out. My theory in life is comfort wins. You contributed to the puzzle you put the last piece in and you found the last piece which is the always the challenge when you're missing one piece. Well you will filming that the picture of the mountain behind you it's gorgeous is almost like it could be its own picture for a puzzle. It's funny about cookies. I like to eat them without the frosting, my daughter likes defrost them but not eat them. We just do a small amount and she can decorate whatever she wants and then I don't need to eat them so the more she decorates the less I'll eat. You have a terrific Thursday and I'll see you tomorrow

[@simisimisimi]

Hi Amy I’m not finished watching video yet but I had to comment how lovely this colour looks on you. Simply beautiful. Ok back to the video 😂❤

Agreed! Her in browns, sages and purples. Beautiful!

[@pattidavis8043]

My cut out cookies go like this: Two packs of pre made cookie dough. Slice and bake, then either frozen or in ziplocks on the counter. Day of decorating: everyone gets a sheet pan, several cookies, 2 colors of icing (they can share), (it's just powdered sugar and water maybe some vanilla extract) a paint brush and ALL the sprinkles u can imagine, colors shapes flavors. My kiddos never missed the roll cut and bake. They had so much fun w the fun part! We always chose one cookie per child to leave for Santa. If we ran out of cookies and they still wanted to decorate, I let them decorate their cookie sheet. Sometimes I put dried egg whites in the frosting and it will dry very hard....you're able to use your decorations on a birthday cake later or just eat for fun. All of the above saved this moma so that I wasnt already tired when we got to the decorating part. Merry Christmas Amy family. We have driven to our destination 4 days ahead of schedule to Nashville to beat the snow. Now we sit in a hotel room waiting w snow and zero degrees temps BUT I will be able to make it now, to my 2yr old grandbaby's Christmas morning. It's an exciting year for us. God bless us every one!

[@amymaryon]

Wow what a joyous time enjoy that baby

[@angelabrockman7816]

I made that saltine toffee this year for the first time also called Christmas Toffee Crack and the recipe said to just break it into pieces after the fridge. I made your Sugared Almonds and they were a winner! I also made mint Muddy Buddy and pb fudge. I am with ya on making sugar cookies. I don't know what it is, but I just can't make myself enjoy the thought of it. I even bought the fast mix sugar cookie packet and sprinkles and guess what, there they still sit unmade! Haha
