Pop Rocks Fireworks Cookies
Check out these Pop Rock Fireworks cookies — Cakespy did these up for the fourth of July, but they would be equally fun for New Years eve, or any other time you’d like a cookie to explode in your mouth!
Like a summer blockbuster movie, these cookies are chock full of explosions: they’re both infused and garnished liberally with Pop Rocks. This not only makes them crackle like fireworks but also pays homage to that other all-consuming american obsession: truly trashy candy (and I say this in the most loving way possible).
So–are you ready to make your fourth

Christmas Cookie Tutorial – Make Oatmeal Cookies!
Oatmeal Cookies are the best comfort food cookie. And they are so versatile! The handy hubby got the urge to make oatmeal cookies the other day, so I handed him my favorite recipe, and grabbed the camera. He doesn’t like chocolate (I KNOW! CRAZY!) so he made these with raisins (so traditional!), but I love to make these with chocolate chips and pecans instead. OK, so there’s nothing really particularly Christmas-y about these, but don’t they just scream HOME? (Want more Xmas-y? Check out these Christmas Tree Cookies from earlier this week)

Christmas Cookies Tutorial – Stacked Christmas Tree
My Aunt Barb and Aunt Denise had the fabulous idea of taking the Wedding Cake Cookies I wrote about previously, and turning them into a fabulous Christmas cookie. These would make wonderful little gifts. As before, there is a good amount of labor involved in putting them together, but I think the results are worth it.
When we got to our thanksgiving destination, they were making these, so I had to grab the camera and document the process for you guys. And of course I got roped into doing a few myself too!
The instructions are below the How… Read on…
