Christmas Treats

Kneaders Sugar Cookies with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

*I halved the recipe, which turns into 3 7/8 cups of flour, so if I make them again Id use 3 1/2 cups so the dough is sticky then reserve 1/4 cup flour to spread out when rolling sticky dough. Halving made 3 dozen-ish.
Double the frosting though because its thick or thin it down with milk but why would you want to do that.
Because I was asked about my chocolate balls, here is the recipe.  Super easy super rich.
OREO Truffles
1 Package Oreos
1 Package cream cheese
Dipping chocolate/mixed with quality chocolate (milk, dark, or mixed)

Crush or process all oreos except 3 (leave these out you will use later).  Hand mix softened cream cheese and completely finely crushed oreo until mixture color is all black.  Set in fridge to cool/slightly stiffen.  Take out rolls into balls.  Melt chocolate microwave or double boiler, if you use microwave turn down power and stir every 30 sec.  Dip use knife and fork to tap the scrap dipped ball onto wax paper.  Now those 3 left out oreos are crushed and used as topping if desired, otherwise you can mix into mixture.  Immediately sprinkle with desired topping before chocolate cools.  Very rich and very tastey.

*Also see plated here is caramel microwave brown bag popcorn and Costco dark chocolate sea salt caramels (too lazy to make them, maybe next year).

Merry Christmas enjoy your treats while you can everyone's about to post there New Years resolutions thus guilt tripping you into getting back in shape or to clean up your eating.
