Chocolate Mint Filled Shortbread Snowballs
Get ready, I am going to get my whine on. I know it is the holidays, but I am not feeling it. First off, my tree is 99% decorated. I am afraid of heights, and my tree requires the use of a ladder to decorate the top. I have not screwed up my courage (or the energy if I am truthful) to get the ladder out and brave what will be almost certain death. Second, I have only one batch of cookies baked.

They...
Chocolate Peanut Butter Marble Cookies
The holidays put me in the mood for cookies! Of course, as you may already know, I love and adore cookies. Since it is the holidays I am in the mood for pretty cookies that taste really good. Those kind of cookies are not only good for nibbling on as you wrap presents but for great for giving as gifts.
