WHAT DOES A MILLION CALORIES LOOK LIKE?

WARNING:

THIS IS NOT A POST TO LOOK AT IF YOU ARE HEATH CONSCIOUS AT ALL This is our #1 bestest family cookie. Everyone likes these {peanut butter kiss cookies}, they are the first to get eaten.

This recipe is a very guarded family recipe that is only shared by the most trusted people. Well, not really, it is the start of Crunchy Peanut Butter balls.


The island in my kitchen is transformed once a year into a confectionary delight. My two daughters and two daughters-in-law get together to do our holiday baking. Everyone brings their favorite holiday cookie and candy recipes to make and share. This year we made fifteen different items. There was fudge (with and without nuts, and there is a story behind that but I don't think this is the place to share it), four different kinds of cookies, almond roca, peanut brittle, cream wafers, peppermint bark, red velvet cake balls, crunch peanut butter balls, turtles and a few more I can't think of off the top of my head.



Grandpa, Matthew and Logan were ever so eager to taste test everything after their day of Christmas shopping.




Daughters Natasha and Maria enjoying a little break with some pomegranate 7-UP. We all tried it and gave it a thumbs up, it was tasty.

Our sweet sister-in-law/daughter-in-law Randy is the official sugar cookie maker. We appreciate her so much for enduring our whacked out sense of humor in our family. Yep we really got into the spirit of things with some 'get down' holiday dancing. (And she didn't even roll her eyes or anything, thanks Randy.) Courtney, the other daughter-in-law wasn't able to make it this year, she hurt her back at work and wasn't feeling up to joining us, we sure missed her.

What's Christmas without Sugar Cookies? They are a MUST!
