3 recipes for EASY HOLIDAY TREATS | What's in my Christmas Cookie Jar

[@MissJens]

For more than twenty years I basically turn into a cookie factory at Christmas time. That is what I give as gifts to everyone. Most often I freeze the dough already scooped into cookies but I don’t bake them until a few days before Christmas. Also, I give a small plate of baked cookies but I also give folks the cookie dough so they can bake them off when needed. A lot of folks like this so they can have fresh baked cookies for New Years Eve or other gatherings. I usually make mostly standard cookies like chocolate chip, peanut butter with kiss or cups, and oatmeal but two special ones I make only at Christmas are white chocolate macadamia nut and Nutella cookies.

[@sherrizanoli1398]

I do the same thing, only I go ahead and scoop out the cookie dough, freeze it on a cookie sheet and then bag it in a ziplock bag with the instruction on the outside. Pull them out and bake as needed. I also gift most of them, but I do candy also. People request my peanut butter fudge yearly.

[@cindia6697]

Hi Amy. I found that preparing all cookie dough ahead of time makes baking easier. I make a little at a time freeze it than when I start baking I take it all out let it thaw and go HAM!

Maxine looking out the window ❤you got so much done 🎉I don’t like whoopie pies but I’m probably strange . Love wedding cookies and the nuts 🍪☕️🍪thank you! 🎄🌺🎄

[@TracyShead-Stamey]

Ginger bread men cookies is one cookie I love to bake this time of year.

[@claudiag.3036]

My favorite cookies to make with my girls are sugar cookies that we decorate together with icing & sprinkles. Fresh baked sugar cookies are so delicious, and I could eat a whole dozen without even blinking. 😂

[@sandiemom8888]

Everything looks delicious. Back when I use to make crepes. I had a recipe that had club soda in the crepe recipe. Made the best crepes. I'd make a filling for them of farmers cheese, confectionary sugar and a tad of lemon juice, blend and Viola, some French crepes in your kitchen. I also just rolled them and put chocolate syrup and home made whip cream on top. You can use Reddi whip if you don't want to make homade whip cream.

[@sandywinkowski4557]

I make “crepes” as noodles for my homemade manicotti (no sugar of course). I keep a paper towel with a little oil next to the stove and “mop” the pan in between each crepe. When top looks dry, I just slide it out of the pan. No need to flip since I fill them and roll them up. Hugs💕

[@kelliannebirchler1814]

I do the same thing for manicotti

[@joannaedwards7019]

Hiya Amy hope you and your family are ok and well I’ve bin really poorly had septic it’s bin horrible but thank the lord for getting thought that horrible time so bin away awhile but back and il get catch up haha god bless you all xxx

I JUST MADE 20 DZ MEXICAN WEDDING CAKES SO EASY & EVERYONE'S FAVORITE!!

[@Barbaracoyle]

Those are the memories I remember with my children and grandchildren.

[@rebeccabrimmer7145]

The secret to perfect crepes is to not have the pan too hot and use less batter. An ice cream scoop of batter would be perfect for that pan. As soon as the batter hits the pan, swirl the batter around to just barely cover the bottom. Once the top starts to look a little dry, flip it for 30 second and then flip the pan upside down over a plate and the crepe will flip right onto the pan. We smear a little butter and jam on the crepe and then roll it up. Cinnamon sugar is also great. I did notice that your batter is a heavier recipe with the butter milk. Try regular milk one time to see if you notice the difference.

[@Janice_1979_]

M and m cookies are great, just make some last week. Also made ginger molasses ones too, they are almost gone.☺️

[@mrsdscraftdesk]

We always sifted powdered sugar into our crepes before rolling.

[@GAPeach58]

My favorite are those wedding cookies or Russian tea cakes. So easy to make, no mixer needed & can crowd up the cookie sheet since they don't spread. It's just butter, flour, powdered sugar, salt, vanilla, & chopped pecans. I'll be making these next week. My boys insist on them every Christmas now. 🎄🎄👍❤😋

[@trishabarnes-wilson5480]

I make my snowball cookies with walnuts. smd recently found a recipe for cranberry walnut snowballs. oh my gods so good!

[@dforrest5699]

Pecan balls are the round ball cookies that are rolled in powered sugar and oh my gosh, so so so good. I also love frosted sugar cookies and my kinda new one is danish butter cookies, I just love how buttery and soft they are. So so so so good.

[@angelaharding4421]

The crepes are pancakes British have sugar and lemon on them that is welsh pancakes

[@mamabear2167]

Mexican wedding cookies are my kids favorite, and they still love to decorate shape cookies even though they are all adults now :D

[@samanthazehr9965]

My staple is Buckeyes. A labor of love for sure, and I only make them once a year around Christmas. I used to do cut out cookies to decorate every year, however, as my kids have gotten older they don't always want to. Just entering into a different season of life. My kids really like chocolate covered pretzels too, again, a labor of love that only gets done once a year around Christmas! Everything looked delicious Amy, have a wonderful day! See you tomorrow!!🙂❤

[@thecolorpurple2678]

My granddaughter loves frosting spread over Graham crackers. And its something she can do herself.

[@maryreynolds5310]

NICE! Everything looks delicious Amy 😊

[@cindyfuller6394]

I like creps. Yes, is a crep pan. I am not a cooker pro either. My favorite is from my childhood. After my mom died 30 years ago I lost the recipe. It's a cream cheese dough. Roll out. Cut into circles (floured cup works great). Drop 1 tesp of jam or jelly into the center or just to 1 side. Fold in half. Seal using floured fork. Bake. Misd them. They were so tasty. She only made them @ Christmas time.

[@mariaslibeck9984]

Our favorite cookie are Christmas Tree cookies. It’s an almond batter pressed out into a tree shape w sprinkles on top. It’s our great grandmothers recipe and press!!

[@angelabrockman7816]

[@dianecelaya1354]

I always make cookie dough at Thanksgiving and I doubled the batch I usually make oatmeal cookies, sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies and then I put cookie dough balls in the freezer and save them to bake at Christmas so I make dough once and we have treats twice for the holidays

[@kathycunningham6677]

Good morning Amy, Whoopie pies are my favorite but everything on your table looks so very scrumptious! Darlene is wonderful and has a great channel and makes delicious foods too. I appreciate you sharing all your goodies today. I think the pan did an excellent job cooking the crepes. Thank you for todays passage from Peter, Amen. Have a fantastic and blessed day today. Enjoy!😊

[@amymaryon]

Thanks Kathy. Always ❤️

[@jackpot5483]

I love your apron. You made my day start cheerful. Thank you for your vlogs😍

You are welcome 😁

[@corran2000]

Her apron is awesome! I love it!

[@karenennis6109]

Good morning. We used to make whoopie pies all year long growing up. It was one of the family expectations you would be bringing them to a food event. Clean your fluff for the moon pies on the porch was a great idea . That was one of the things I missed the most about not having a cold porch and when I lived in Florida. Where was warm most of the time and now that I've moved back to the Northeast I live in apartment without a balcony or porch to put things out to cool. That was always a great thing during the winter you could make your cookies, candy , pies and rock candy and such could put them out in the porch and let it cool off. You wouldn't have to worry about keeping items in the refrigerator because it was as cold if not freezing on the porch. I hope that you had lots of fun in your weekend activities. And I hope you have a tremendous today. And I'll see you tomorrow

[@amymaryon]

I remember my parents doing that too..storing food outdoors

[@corran2000]

My parents store the vegetables outside, sometimes the soup when they have no room in the fridge over Xmas and new year. Always a lot of food rammed 8n there. Storing cold drinks outside is also good, especially when the weather is what it has been this last week, we are at 0 degrees in Scotland where we are atm.

[@petiest1]

I made an oatmeal cake and used that cooked frosting for the cake and it was awesome. 😋❤️

[@alexachenbach821]

Happy Thursday to you to.

[@donnabolt5847]

My family loves the Ritz cracker cookies. You take a plain Ritz cracker (I try to find the snowflake ones), slap a hearty amount of pb on top,place another cracker on top then dip in white almond bark. Then put sprinkles on top. Soooo good. Also, Amy I don't use vegetable or canola oil either. I substitute it with avocado oil. Some things we just don't want the coconut flavor. But you don't taste avocado. It actually brings out the flavors you are using

[@laRosa1969]

Hey Amy, a tip for the crêpes, be patient!!!!!!!!!! Put the heat on medium and let them cook well till solid, flip them over and bake the other side as well, they need time 😉 your cookies look phenomenal 🤤

[@amymaryon]

Thank you for this

[@veronica1863]

My absolute favorite is my grandmas peanut butter cookies, only made at Christmas time. Honestly anything she made was the best

[@erinb.5103]

Amy to tell you the truth, my family and my favorite Christmas cookies are the decorated sugar cut-out cookies. Our next favorite would probably be my sister’s butterscotch chip cookies ( she just uses her chocolate chip cookie recipe and substitutes butterscotch chips.

[@amymaryon]

Delicious..I love butterscotch too

[@ghc7400]

Crepes are very thin. They should be golden and speckled on the second side to. Put oil or melted butter in the batter, then it doesn't stick as badly and you only have to grease the pan every 5 or so crepes if even that. We just stack them on a plate under a layer of tin foil to keep it warm. Should you by some miracle have leftovers the roll them up and freeze them.

[@teeandkids937]

I love the “ if by some miracle you have leftovers” 😂

Actually, shortening does go bad. I found this out the hard way, making my famous brownies; we had to throw the entire batch out, as the shortening was rancid, which I didn't realize until after they were baked, they were horrible. I now buy small containers of shortening, store it in the fridge, and discard after a few months.
