Favorite Christmas Cookies

[Matterhorn Fan]

It may be after Christmas, but it's never too late for cookies!

cirquelover, I've not tried this Buckeye recipe, but here's one from a postcard I received from Ohio--I've had it magneted to my fridge for a couple years now. I ought to try it; it sounds like the one I used to make.


Buckeye Candy

1 lb. bag confectioner's sugar
2/3 lb. jar creamy peanut butter
2 sticks soft butter
16 oz. bag of chocolate chips
1 T paraffin
1 wood toothpick

Blend together confectioner's sugar, peanut butter, and butter.
Roll into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Freeze for about 5 minutes or until firm.
Melt chocolate and paraffin in double boiler. Insert toothpick in ball and partially dip into chocolate and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Makes about 4 dozen.


I made gingerbread sea creatures and chocolate Andes-chip cookies this holiday.
