My favorite Christmas cookies are Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies... I think that's what they are called.

Here's a yummy and easy - no bake - cookie. I first discovered these for a holiday cookie swap and was a little skeptical about making them but they are so yummy and every year they win a prize. The husband of one of my girl friends refers to them as 'Mother Teresa's' whenever he wants her to make them!

Ingredients:

Peanut Butter

Ritz Crackers

12 oz. bag of semi sweet chocolate chips

4 oz. White chocolate (either chips or the Wilton candy making circles)

Cooking Paraffin

Put peanut butter between two ritz cracks (like you are making a sandwich). Dip in melted chocolate and place on wax paper until chocolate has cooled.

Melted chocolate - Melt 1 bag of chocolate chips (I prefer dark chocolate) in microwave with 1 square of paraffin wax. I melt mine in 30 second intervals, stirring until completely melted. Be careful not to over melt or chocolate will burn.

White chocolate - I melt 4 oz. of white chocolate with 1/2 of a paraffin bar. Once melted I drizzle on the top of the cookies. You can add food coloring to make red and green decorations as well.

These cookies taste just like the chocolate covered peanut butter Girl Scout cookies.

The first year Evan was teaching his school had an 'all male bake-off' fundraiser. He entered and he made a large brownie and used 10x sugar and a checker board template to make the top of the brownie look like a checkerboard. He made two batches of these cookies - one with dark chocolate and one with the red candy making circles. He placed the cookies on the brownie like a checker board and won first place, best tasting, and best in show! He had a basket of the small ritz crackers and cheese that he dipped in chocolate as samples.

I also make these using a can of white frosting instead of peanut butter. I add peppermint extract to the frosting and they taste like the Girl Scout peppermint pattie cookies!

I love the cookies that you make with saltines.

line large cookies sheet with tin foil
place salties on sheet touching
melt 2 sticks of butter with 2 cups of brown sugar
pour on saltines
put in oven for 5 min
take out and add a bag of choc chips
put in oven for 30 seconds
take out and spread with spatula evenly
add choped nuts and place in the fridge
break apart like peanut brittle

They are so yummy and child friendly
