We have made what feels like thousands of different cookies over the years but surprisingly, we have not tried making the classic Macaron. What better time than two days before Christmas and on a day off work! These cute little treats are going to be used for a Christmas get together with both my boyfriend and mine families tonight. Have you make macarons before? What is your favorite flavor?
We have 4 days until Christmas and I am really excited to be sharing this cookie next! What I love about it is that it is a twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie with the addition of the chopped Rolo candies. Plus, it is a simple drop cookie so no chill or roll time is needed! When it comes to drop cookies, the best tool invented is the cookie scooper. It is similar to an ice cream scoop but it has a piece of metal that moves to drop the dough out of the scoop and onto the baking sheet. If you don’t have one yet, I would highly recommend getting one. Our cookie scoop size is 1 ½ Tablespoons we use it for almost every cookie we make.
It’s 8 days until Christmas and today’s cookie was super easy and fun to make! A drop cookie like this makes for the perfect weekday snack but still works wonderfully as gifts for neighbors/coworkers. The flavor profile of pistachio was exciting for us since we usually don’t work with pistachio in treats, we are normally eating them straight out of the shell! I’m hit or miss on pistachio but I did thoroughly enjoy this cookie with a hot cup of tea.
Does anyone else feel like this holiday season is flying by? I keep reminding myself to slow down and enjoy every moment, especially because it’s my favorite time of year. One of my favorite traditions is to see the Nutcracker ballet with my mom. As soon as we see that, it is officially the Christmas season for me! Comment below with a tradition that makes you feel the Christmas season has started!
