Happy last Friday before Christmas. How is it 5 more sleeps? Ahh how I love Christmas, but I think even more I just love the entire season! The lead up, the build up, the festive fun and I get so sad when it’s over.
But the fat lady hasn't it sung yet lol and by fat lady, I mean ME eating all the Christmas treats, lol! Let’s enjoy these last few days my friends! And this mama is over the moon because I get every single member of my family here on Christmas Day and I am going to relish every second! It’s going to be extra fun with the twins this year and they sure do love wrapping paper, lol!
So let’s talk about the Snow Globe Cookies! I was so excited to make these and they are cute, but they just didn’t turn out as perfectly or as easily as I had hoped, lol but I’m still going to share the ingredients needed and how to make them. I was going to do a dedicated post on them but I didn't feel they were 'aesthetically perfect' enough so I'll just throw em' here as a Friday Fav.
They were a hit with everyone I gave them to though.
Simply dip the Oreo's in melted white candy melts, transfer to wax paper then place a candy in center and sprinkle with sparkling sugar. Let harden and attach to upside down Reese's miniature with a little frosting, Store in airtight continuer up to 2 weeks.
And this year, I did a dozen Cookie/Candy trays. I made way more cookies than what I thought I would (9 varieties), but I spread it out by making a few batches every weekend leading up that could be frozen. And I made 6 batches of my Sweepstakes Peanut Butter Fudge.
Love spreading cheer by delivering them.
Wishing you all a healthy and happy remainder of the year, I hope you have a cozy blanket, lots of love and warm drinks. Feel your emotions and do what you need to do. I hope you give to others, that you delight in the Christmas season, that your heart finds peace if you are in pain or not with loved ones and that you find light and hope in celebrating
the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!
I keep my Family private for the most part now but here are the Twins...because they're the
BEST part of my heart.....and oh the JOY they bring so many.
Cheers to you, Cheers to our King and Cheers to facing the New Year with a renewed perspective. May 2025 be soooo much better than 2024.
Love and Hugs to you all.
Have a festive weekend sweet Friends!!

ReplyDeleteChristmas perfection!! The snowglobe cookies are so cute. I was thinking that you can purchase Oreos covered in white chocolate... but then it would be harder to attach the sugar crystals to them. Your matching outfits are amazing and your baking is inspirational. Enjoy Christmas with your beautiful family!
