Day 10 of my 12 days of cookies: Cornflakes and Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies. These are the best! I love using cornflakes in cookies. IMG_8077

They give cookies just a little crunch without going overboard. Just like all the cookies I love, these are nice and chewy.

Day 9: Cookie Butter Blossoms

Day 9 of my 12 days of cookies: Cookie Butter Blossoms! These are basically peanut butter blossoms, but they’re made with cookie butter instead of peanut butter. Game. Changer.img_0205

I like these so much more than the normal peanut butter ones. The texture is the same since they’re made with pretty much all of the same ingredients.

That sugary coating on the outside is the best part. Since I think one entire Hershey’s kiss is a lot for one cookie, I opted to leave some of them naked. I actually prefer the naked ones!

You could also cut the Hershey kisses in half, but that wouldn’t make for a very pretty cookie. img_0229

Day 8 of my 12 days of cookies: M&M brownie cookies! These are gooey, dark, chocolate cookies. img_0237

They truly have a brownie texture (well, probably because I used a brownie box). I used Christmas M&M’s to add into the mix, but feel free to use whatever you can find in the store.img_0241

3 more days until Christmas! Are you guys ready? I’ve been mixing up cookie dough and putting them into the fridge. This year is a little more complicated for me, so I won’t be baking all of the cookies at once. I’ve been slowly baking batch by batch for when I actually see people. img_0244

The first batch of cookies were done over the weekend for my DH’s secretaries at work. The next batch will be made for friends. My last batch will be for our family Christmas celebrations! Are you guys ready?
