Santa Cookies

One of my favorite things to do during the holidays is make all kinds of goodies with my children.

It’s not only a good way to pass the time during those few days they are out of school before Christmas, and it’s an inexpensive way to give your neighbors and friends a gift for Christmas.

One of my favorite recipes are Santa Cookies. They are not only EASY PEASY, they are cute as a button.

Here’s the recipe!

Ingredients:


2 (6 ounce) packages white chocolate baking squares, chopped
1 (1 lb) package Nutter Butter sandwich cookies
red colored crystal sugar
32 vanilla chips or white chocolate chips
64 miniature semisweet chocolate chips
32 red-hot candies

Directions:
In a heavy saucepan over low heat, melt white chocolate, stirring occasionally.
Dip one end of each cookie into melted chocolate.
Place on wire racks.
For santa’s hat, sprinkle red sugar on top part of chocolate.
Press one vanilla chip off-center on hat for pom-pom, let stand until set. Note: you can also use a mini marshmallow cut in half for the pom-pom.
Dip other end of each cookie into melted chocolate for beard, leaving center of cookie uncovered.
Place on wire racks.
With a dab of melted chocolate, attach semisweet chips for eyes and a red-hot, or red mini M&M’s, for nose.
Place on waxed paper until chocolate sets.

Once your finished, put them in a Christmas tin (you can get them at Walmart for CHEAP) and help your children deliver them to your neighbors. If your feeling festive, you can even sing a little carol when you deliver them.
