Amazing Simple Treat!!!

Oh my gosh, these oreo cake balls are awesome!!! I like Oreo cookies but I'm not a huge fan but man, these are fantastic!!! Give it a whirl!!

You need:
1pkg of Oreos
1 8 oz pkg of cream cheese
1 pkg of almond bark

-Blend oreos whole in blender, you might need to do just a few at a time. You want it powdery, not big chunks.
-Mix cookie crumbs with cream cheese and roll into one inch balls.
-Place in the fridge for 1 hr to set.
-Melt the almond bark and dip the cookie balls in and place on cookie sheet or wax paper.
-Let it set for awhile to let the outside part harden and enjoy!!

It's Cookie Time!!!

Well, the holidays are always something to look forward to. Family, food and fun and for a select group a dorky tradition that was started 12 years ago when a couple of freshman girls burned their first batch of Christmas cookies. I can't say we have improved much, but its always entertaining. Here are a few of the gems that came out of this years party:


These swirl cookies are pretty simple, I'm not one for fancy recipes so here is the edited version:
-Take a ball of cookie dough about the size of your fist and put a few drops of one color of food coloring on it and kneed it in. You may need gloves or baggies so your hands don't get dyed.
-Repeat 3-4 times with different colors.
-Place each layer on top of one another and spread each layer out. Try to make it all into a rectangle shape.
-Roll it up like a wrap.
-Put in the freezer for 45 mins or so.
-Use a knife to cut into small pinwheels.
-Place them on the side to bake.

We make the best of broken cookies, this angry ginger man threw a ninja star and cut the other in half.
