I think I’ve sneaked more treats as an adult so my kid
wouldn’t see me eating them, than I did as a kid so my parents wouldn’t see me.
Shameful, I know.
I’m not a huge baker, but I do like baking treats at Christmas time. Below are the
recipes for my four holiday favorites: 3 super sneak-able cookies and 1 super
sneak-able candy.
There’s nothing really Christmas-y about my recipes. Those
amazing frosted sugar cookies that are shaped like Santas, snowmen, Christmas
trees, stars, angels, mittens and stockings always look so beautiful. But in my
opinion, they usually look better than they taste.
I loved decorating sugar cookies at Christmas time when I
was a little girl. My mom and I would add food coloring to the different bowls
of frosting and set out a dozen different kinds of sprinkles. We would spend
hours trying to make each cookie a masterpiece. The first several cookies always turned
out beautifully, but the decorating would get sloppier and sloppier as the
hours went by. It was always obvious which cookie was last to be decorated.
I’m sure Quinn will want to decorate Christmas cookies when
he’s older, and he and I will have a great time doing so. But until then, here
are recipes for four super easy, super sneak-able goodies your family and friends are sure to
love.
No frosting required.
