I added to the cookie stash today in between a little on-call work and present-wrapping in Herrin.
First up, crescent cookies. My dad really likes these almond cookies coated in powdered sugar so I made a batch of those. (Note the Ski bottle in the background. My parents stocked up with beverages for my visit. In addition to Ski bottles, Dad bought four types of Schlafly beer: Kolsch, No. 15, Pale Ale and Christmas Ale.)Next, more peanut butter and dipping. I'm not sure what they're called, but I think I copied this recipe from family friend/ second mother Kylene years ago. It's two saltine crackers with peanut butter in between, and the whole thing is dipped in almond bark. Ever since, they have been one of my most-complimented Christmas regulars. (I think they're good but also filling ... kind of a mini-meal.)
I used the leftover bark to coat some pretzels (also with red and green sprinkles).

You amaze me with all the baking you do! Hope you had a very Merry Christmas!
P.S. - My mom will love making your blog! She checks it every day for updates!
Aww! I love making those peanut butter treats for Christmas time! I cheat though - I use Ritz Bits and make bite size candies! So much quicker and still so tasty! I made 4 boxes of them this year! Sheesh! That is still a lot of dipping! I love your baking posts - I wish I had time to bake! And I'm so completely jealous of your Kitchen Aide mixer - I have wanted one for years! :)
