This week I was asked by my best friend Shaunna to put together a cookie tray for her Church’s Christmas Open House. I took a look at my pantry for cookie ideas  and got to work.

I needed to have six dozen cookies for the tray, so I made a double batch of Chocolate Peanut Clusters. I also made a batch of Cake Mix Snickerdoodles.

I still needed one more cookie, and it was too cold to go to the store, so I improvised…

I came up with a Vanilla Snowball cookie. The vanilla iced cookies are topped with shredded coconut and sugar crystals. They look  a little like snowballs, which is perfect for the wintry day that we are having.

Tomorrow there will be even more cookies on Nicostuff. Friday is our MOPS Christmas party and cookie exchange. I’ve got a few goodies in mind to make for the day.
