Bring on the Cookies!
That’s what happens this time of year right? Every where you turn….there’s a festive cookie recipe you want to try…cookbooks, magazines, blogs. I’ve never been huge into cookie baking, but I can see where it can become a bit of a “sport”…I think this year I will be baking a few more than I normally do.
Our Cooking Light Virtual Supper Club is having a Cookie Exchange for this month’s theme. The girls and I each picked a Cooking Light cookie recipe to bake, taste and feature…and here’s what made it to the plate:
Jamie: Raspberry Strippers
Shelby: Chocolate Hazelnut Thumbprints
Val: Orange Walnut Tassies
Hélène: Maple Date Bars
Aggie: Peppermint Patties
Check out each member’s blog to see their cookies and recipes!
It was hard to choose just one cookie…but when I saw the Peppermint Patties I thought they were a perfect treat. They aren’t just a cookie…they are actually an ice cream cookie sandwich and who’s not a fan of ice cream cookie sandwiches? The cookies are crisp and chocolaty, and the crushed peppermint candy coating just makes this cookie sandwich that much better. My little guy was quoted saying “That was awesome!” after eating his.
If you are in the mood for trying these yummy treats out for yourself visit MyRecipes.com for a printable copy of Peppermint Patties.
I highly recommend following the directions in the recipe that suggests you put back in the freezer for 4 hours before serving. I was impatient and started photographing my yummy cookies immediately after making them and ended up with melty ice cream mess…so we had to hurry and eat them and then start filling a new batch. No worries…we got it under control! 🙂

oh my goodness! Those look incredible. So fun. What a great choice. I am hoping to get some baking on this weekend- wahooo
I’m with Erica! OMG they look gorgeous and so yummy! BTW, if you had been baking in NY instead of FL you may not have had as much of a melting problem. ;o)
I’m with Erica and Shelby…they took the words right out of my mouth…OMG. Those look incredible Aggie. You better have some in the freezer when we visit you at the holidays : )
Ohhhhh Aggie! Wait these are lower fat? Wow. So that means we can eat more. Awesome. lol
These look like a cookie that everyone in my family have been begging me to try. I love that there is a lower fat version. Can’t wait to check out all the other cookies. I love this theme!
Great photos and I am sure these taste amazing!
The perfect special treat for our wintry holidays Aggie. We live in Canada so wouldn’t need to be quite so convcerned with the ice cream melting this time of year…..brrrrr. Thanks for bringing them to our vurtual supper club!
