Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
I always love a good sugar cookie, and I love Hershey Kisses. Combine the two and you get Kiss Cookies. Today we’re trying a slight spin on that using Hershey’s Candy Cane Kisses and a little bit of candy sprinkles. The result is a delicious batch of Candy Cane Kiss Cookies! [Read more…]

Last year I hosted a Six Weeks of Christmas Treats event with some guest posts from our friends, and I kicked off the event with a little round-up of Christmas recipes and linky party so you can share your own recipes with us. The post turned out great, and I had 60+ recipes linked up, so I decided to kick off this year’s event with another round up and linky party.
For last year’s post, I shared cookie recipes, decorated cookies, bars, and candy (4 of each). For this year’s round up, I decided to do something a little different. I looked for Christmas treats with a fun twist or cute presentation suitable for Christmas parties. Check them out below, and then feel free to link up your own Christmas treats.
The linky is open to any Christmas treat recipes: cookies, bars, cakes, pies, drinks, appetizers, etc. Pretty much anything goes!

Today I’m excited to share one of the first cookie recipes I ever made. These Easy Peanut Butter Cookies are perfect for any time of year. They are made with just 3 ingredients and cook up in about 10 minutes!
And for more fun and creativity, put a little peanut butter between to cookie for the perfect peanut butter sandwich cookie. Or try adding crushed candies, chocolate chips, nuts, or any add in you like! Enjoy! [Read more…]
I love cake mix recipes, and I especially love cake mix cookies! Over the weekend I had a couple of ripe bananas that needed to be eaten, so I decided to look up a recipe for Banana Cake Mix Cookies! I used a recipe I found over at Best Ever Cookie Collection, making just a couple of slight changes. And their recipe was based on one found in Cake Mix Cookies by Camilia V. Salisbury
My cookies turned out absolutely sweet and delicious, and I’d definitely make them again! If you love banana, you should give them a try too! Hope you enjoy!
