Ryan's not going to like this...

but here are the recipes from the cookie plate. They are seriously all so yummy.

Romney Fudge (also the fudge on the back of the Marshmallow Creme jar)

3/4 c. butter
3 c. sugar
2/3 c. evaporated milk

Bring these to a boil on medium. Stir and boil for 5 minutes.

12 oz package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 jar Marshmallow creme
1 t. vanilla
1 c. nuts (I use pecans, because Ryan doesn't like walnuts...but walnuts are good!)

Take the pot off of the burner and add these ingredients. Stir until very combined. Pour into 9X13 and freeze (covered) until ready to serve.

Spritz--kind of like sugar cookies, but crisper

1 1/2 c. margarine (softened)

1 1/2 c. sugar

1 egg

1 t. vanilla

1 t. baking powder

3 3/4 c. flour

Mix all ingredients together. Get out a cookie press (see this link to see what I'm talking about). Press out your cookies and sprinkle with colored sprinkles. bake at 375 degrees for 7-10 minuntes. Makes 100 cookies, easy.

Christmas Crumb Bars--everyone's favorite, it seems. Tons of compliments this year.


1 lb. butter, softened
2 1/2 c. sugar
2 t. vanilla
1/2 t. Almond extract
2 t. baking powder
2 eggs
6 c. flour (divided)
about 20 oz. jar cherry jam (you could use other sour jams: raspberry, plum, currant but don't.)

Mix all ingredients except flour and jam. Add flour one cup at a time (roughly 5 c. ), until heavy and beginning to pull away from sides of bowl. Pat about 3/4 of the dough into a large cookie sheets (with sides), forming a crust around edges so jam doesn't leak out. Spread with jam. Add another cup or so of flour to make remaining dough really crumbly. Crumble it over the jam, then bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool and cut into bars.


Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies--so good.

Click on this link to go to the Allrecipes.com for the recipe. Read the reviews...I always do. My only advice: do not overcook (it's hard to tell, because they are brown cookies).

And PLEASE...if you make these, or have made anything else I've suggested: LET ME KNOW. I would love to hear if you've made them and liked them!
