Because of this busyness, I haven't even had time to bake for my Christmas baskets. I'm now toying with not doing it this year. <sigh> But, I think I can say I've done enough Christmas baking for the season. There are, however, a couple of recipes I want to try yet this weekend. We'll see if I get to them...
The super cool thing about these cookies is that the original source also gives instructions on how to assemble most of the ingredients in a jar and give as a gift! I just wanted to make the cookies, so I didn't create any jars. But, I might put it on my "to do" list next year!
Christmas Crunch Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter , softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup M&M’s
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup Rice Krispies
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, vanilla and egg. Add the sugars and cream together until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Slowly stir it into the egg mixture. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until blended. (The dough will be crumbly.) Drop rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
