Christmas Chewies

When I asked my husband how long he's been making these Christmas cookies, his response was, "Oooo that's a hard one...years and years and years...before we were married...before we were even dating."  Suffice it to say, a very long time.  Not quite decades and decades.  But definitely more than one decade.  We recently celebrated our eleventh wedding anniversary.

Christmas Chewies come in a variety of different colors and flavors.  This Christmas Brian's making fudge ones and lemons ones and strawberry ones.  He can make any flavor, well at least any flavor that is found in a boxed cake mix.  Ooops I might be giving his secret away.  Here's what the dough looks like as it's being formed.

Then you just line them up on the baking sheet.

You can add some decorative sprinkles to the tops prior to baking.

As the cookies bake they flatten out just enough to slather some cream frosting between two of them.  

We're winding down the Christmas cookies baking season.  It's not over yet, but it's getting close.

We're starting to fill tins and plates and containers.

Here's what things are starting to look like at our house about now.

Yumminess at its best!
