Welcome! Today is my day for the annual Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange. Thank you to Carol from Just Let Me Quilt for organizing this every year. It is fun to get new yummy cookie recipes and inspiration for a new fabric craft. I have a craft and a cookie recipe to share!
I have shared this on my blog before, but if you are visiting for the first time, I hope you will enjoy this fun and easy idea.
A couple of years ago I made these cute little snowmen for the children of some friends. There's a full size Hershey bar wrapped under the snowman. The hats are a pair of inexpensive children's gloves. Or you can make your own with fabric. You can also use scraps for the wrap, but I used a little bit of flannel and shagged the ends. I think this is one of the cutest little gifties for someone young and old :-)
You can find a link for the template HERE.
(p.s. be sure to turn the template to the Landscape position before printing)
Now for my cookie recipe.
4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups softened butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 cups (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips or M& M's
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt. Set aside
Combine butter, sugar, brown sugar. Beat until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla. Continue beating until well mixed.
Gradually add dry mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop dough by 1/4 cupful's, 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-14 minutes or until light golden brow.
(I use M & M's instead of chocolate chips)
These cookies bake up so large and delicious.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you will come again. Enjoy!

The snowmen are really cute. Thanks for the cookie recipe also. They look very tasty.
Those little gloves make the cutest hats! A fun gift idea for any age, I think! You can't go wrong with M&Ms and cookies - yum!
The snowmen are adorable, what a great gift idea!
Those snowmen are adorable! Are they meant to the gift wrapping? Or are the mittens meant to be used? Either way it's a wonderful presentation.
Ok, you had me when I saw M&M's! LOL!! But seriously those snowmen candy bars are just too cute. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.
Hi Jocelyn! Those snowmen are just so cute! And I love that they are covering a Hershey bar - my favorite. :D I just copied your recipe AND that amazing photo of your delicious looking cookies and have them printed out to make for my cookies trays - yum and thank you!
I love those snowmen! What a great way to give a small gift that is cute, yummy, and useful, too. The cookies look so festive and would definitely fill my tummy with joy. Thanks for sharing, Jocelyn! P.S. I tried to pin your pics to Pinterest but it wouldn't let me. Blogger has been frustrating the last few days.
Cute candy holders, and the cookies look yummy, thanks so much for sharing!
You got me with the full size Hershey bar. These are so cute and such a clever idea.
The snowmen are perfect - everyone is going to love them. The recipe for the chewy choc chip + MMs is spot-on. Just what I want from Santa or whomever...
What a cute idea when gifting gloves! My DGD and I had to make choc chip cookies with the red & green M&Ms too. So festive!! Merry Christmas!
Jocelyn, those snowmen are just adorable!! What a great idea. I'll have to remember that. You could also wrap in a gift card or money too! Thanks for sharing it and your cookie recipe!
Your Hershey bar wraps are adorable and what a great idea . I always give the grandbabies gloves in their stockings; this would be a great way to gift them. Yum on the cookies. Can't go wrong with M &M's . Merry Christmas
Your snowmen candy covers are adorable! They would make such cute stocking stuffers. Can’t wait to try those yummy looking cookies.
The snowmen are super cute and the cookies look yummy.
The snowman IS cute and what child wouldn't like warm fingers and chocolate? The cookies might be the only other thing they'd like, and they are perfectly wonderful looking cookies! If I can find M&Ms that aren't chocolate, or chips that aren't, I may still find time to try these. If my oven thermostat will work one more time. LOL
Cute snowmen! I bet young and old like those!! The cookies with M&Ms look absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Just yesterday a little one told me her favorite cookie is chocolate chip with M&Ms on top. Now I have a recipe! Love the gift idea - thank you!
What a great idea, everyone loves cookies.
Adorable! Makes me wish for some grand kids so I could make cute stuff for them, but alas it hasn't happened (yet) and chocolate wouldn't be good for my grand dogs. Merry Christmas!
There’s nothing like the smell of baking chocolate chip cookies!
Oh My Gosh! Those snowmen are adorable. What a perfect sweet gift idea. Your recipe sounds so yummy. My DH will enjoy them all year long! Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to all! 🎄
Those are adorable snowman gifts! And those cookies are making me wish I had one right now! Thanks for the recipe!
