21 Cookies 'Til Christmas

We started a family tradition last year. I take each child out individually to shop for presents for the family. We hang out at the mall, thrift store, antique malls, Walmart, Target, wherever we want to go. We have lunch together and make it a fun day shopping. Today was Bret's and my day to spend together. When we got home from that we had Callie until 11:30. There wasn't much time for cookie making today.
I decided to try one of the non-bake cookie ideas that I had.



The recipe goes like this... crush up a couple candy canes. Add enough vanilla frosting to the candy canes for filling the cookie sandwiches. Next crack open a box of vanilla wafers. Put some frosting mix between two cookies to form a cookie sandwich.



Next melt some milk chocolate chips in a double boiler. If you don't have one you can do what we do. Boil an inch of water in a pan. Put a smaller pan inside it and add chocolate to melt. Do NOT try to melt the chocolate on a pan directly on the stove.



When the chocolate is melted, dip the cookies in the chocolate for a little added flavor. We are full from pizza right now so no one was really in the mood for a cookie. They were good. They may be better in the morning when our stomachs are empty. lol.
