Mistletoe Make and Bake

Welcome to the first day of the Mistletoe Make and Bake. We have all been so excited to bring a few ideas to all of you, to make your Holiday season the best ever!

Santa has always been a magical man in our home. When our 3 sons would go to bed on Christmas eve, the tree would be lit, the stockings would be hung, but there were no gifts under the tree. If you believed in the Magic of Christmas, the tree would be full when morning came.


They are all adults now, but all of the gifts under the tree come from Santa. Who is going to argue with that?





When my boys asked for Yummy Cookies. I always had the ingredients in the pantry. This is an easy 'go to ' cookie recipe when you need something at the last minute.
YUMMY COOKIES
Combine in a sauce pan and boil one minute:
1/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
4 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
pinch of salt
Remove from heat and stir in quickly
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups quick oats
1 tsp. vanilla
Drop by teaspoonful onto waxed paper and let set overnight
Head over to Sherri's http://thisandthatpatterns.typepad.com/ blog to see what project she has planned for you today.
FYI, my good Buddie Monica, aka The Happy Zombie had to drop out of the hop at the last minute. We will miss her, but you can still show her some love! Click on my sidebar to go visit her!

Julie,

I'm sure that this is the recipe that my mom use to make for my siblings and I when we were kids - many, many years ago. Unfortunately, she never wrote it down and we've been collectively trying to recreate it ever since she passed away. Comfort food. Memories. So simple. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks for the recipe. Putting the all the gifts out after the kids are asleep is our tradition too. In the morning, first they run to check the tree, then they would wake Mom and Dad.
