Merry Christmas Eve Eve! I can't believe it's already December 23rd. I remember putting up my tree on November 1st and that feels like just yesterday. I'm sad to see the Christmas season come and go once again, but I'm excited to have my own Christmas here at my place. My parents are in town… Continue reading Surprise Meringue Kisses

Rice Krispie Cookies
What do you get when you mix oatmeal, chocolate chips, coconut and Rice Krispies together? A mega-awesome cookie, that's what. Maybe I should actually call this "kitchen sink cookies" since there's so many random ingredients inside. This recipe hails from the same Atchison, Kansas Methodist cookbook that I used for my peanut butter blossoms. I… Continue reading Rice Krispie Cookies
Classic Peanut Butter Blossoms
I spent all weekend baking up a storm. It was my last free weekend to do some holiday baking, so I took advantage of it. I had three things planned, and one recipe just kind of fell into my lap. I had some leftover Hershey kisses and a big tub of peanut butter. Classic peanut… Continue reading Classic Peanut Butter Blossoms
Peppermint Mocha Cookies
Peppermint is my jam. When I was a smoker (I know, bad habit, but I quit a long time ago!) I only smoked menthols. I've chewed the exact same type of gum for a decade (Five peppermint). Don't ever hand me a stick of spearmint gum, that's not my thing. I love dinner mints and… Continue reading Peppermint Mocha Cookies

It's December 2nd, and if your Christmas tree isn't up yet---what are you waiting for?!

Candy Cane Cookie Cake
Sugar OVERLOAD. I've probably had more sweets in the last week than I have all year. I can't wait to get back on keto at the beginning of the New Year, but for now I'm soaking up the holiday treats. This cookie cake I made for work on Monday is probably the sweetest thing I've… Continue reading Candy Cane Cookie Cake

Christmas Cookie Sticks
The air is cool, crisp, and has a hint of fireplace smoke to it. Lights twinkle in the pre-dawn sky, a pine-scented candle flickers in the distance, and coffee percolates on the countertop. These December mornings have got me feeling all kinds of things. Christmas is about a week away, and I've been immersed in… Continue reading Christmas Cookie Sticks
Cinnamon Roll Cake Balls
It has been a lazy weekend in the Welcher household. Since we had planned on being snowed in on Saturday, we had nothing in the works to get out of the house. Neither the snow nor the ice came but our plans were unwavering: stay on the couch, in our pajamas, for 24 hours or… Continue reading Cinnamon Roll Cake Balls
Christmas Brownie Cookies
Sugar is one of the most addicting substances in the world. It buries itself deep inside your brain thinking you need it---always. The holidays make it extremely hard to not overdo it on the sugar. I've found myself sneaking one cookie...two cookies...three cookies or more. Once you get one, you can't stop. These brownie cookies… Continue reading Christmas Brownie Cookies
