Mint Chocolate Truffle Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2009

I love these cookies! I've been making them with my Christmas cookies for the past few years. One complaint I have is that the serving seems to be off, I got about 60 cookies out of the recipe instead of 22. Instead of refridgerating the dough, I put it in the freezer 30 minutes. Then I roll out the dough and put it on a cookie sheet, and then put the cookie sheet in the freezer for an additional 10 minutes. This seems to stop the cookies from spreading in the oven. I keep the bowl of dough in the fridge between batches as well. The cookies only needed 9 minutes to cook in my oven. Also, in previous years I had trouble crushing the candy cane. One year I tried a hammer (lol) and ended up with more candy cane on the floor than on the cookies. Another year, I tried the blender and I couldn't get the pieces fine enough. They also clumped up really bad even though my blender was perfectly dry. This year I found the PERFECT device! I used my coffee grinder, and it got the candy cane super fine - just how I like it. I coat the entire top of the cookie with the candy cane to help with the blandness.

Swedish Chocolate Balls (or Coconut Balls)

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009

These were great and very simple to make! I coated mine with icing sugar.. quite festive :) Reminded me of snowballs. The only thing I had trouble with is that the dough wouldn't stick together at first for me. But I just popped the mixture into the deep-freeze for 30 minutes and all was well!

Whipped Shortbread Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009

They were good, but I did find them to be quite dry. Looking at all the previous reviews, it was probably something I did wrong. I don't have a mixer (not even a hand mixer!) so I had to do all the whipping by hand, and maybe it just wasn't enough? Regardless, I won't be making them again.

Big Soft Ginger Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2009

Oh my goodness! I just made these, and they are hands down the BEST cookie I have ever made!!! I was a little skeptical at first, because quite frankly the batter smelled disgusting. I'm pregnant, and you better believe I almost lost my lunch a few times lol. But after baking, they are just delicious! I am going to make everyone some of these for Christmas!
