I enjoy many things in this wide world, but few bring me as much joy as baking. It's relaxing, creative, smells amazing and brings great happiness to all that choose to partake. I might just be having a lurid affair with my Kitchenaid...good thing my husband supports the union. Also, thank all that is Holy that I married someone who cooks. Cause that is not my forte'. I have a few dishes under my sleeve, but they aren't winning any contests. Anyway, yesterday I had a hankerin' to whip up something festive since the weather decided, why yes, it actually is winter. 85 degrees in December....ridiculous. Also, my husband's co-workers get feisty without baked goods....you know who you are. :)
Originally I wanted to make Peppermint Pinwheels or something involving a peppermint flavor. But the thought of waiting 2 hours for the dough to chill then rolling it out, plus the added bonus of driving to the store in holiday traffic for Peppermint extract (which I did not have in the cupboard after all, *$%@#) didn't sound all that appealing...and sometimes I'm lazy. So I did it my way; quick and using what I had. They turned out a little something like this:
First, I whipped up a batch of my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Cause let's face it, when it comes to dough you want to nibble at, it's the tastiest. Then I added mini Chocolate Chips and crushed Peppermint Oreos (which I already had, bonus!). I split the dough into 2 batches and added a little food coloring for a splash of Holiday Pizazz! Kids and adults alike would love the color. Simple, delicious and best of all: FESTIVE. Happy holiday baking everyone!
