Christmas Cake Recipes - Easy, quick, no bake cookies!
Why spend so much precious time looking for Christmas Cake Recipes when you can spend so much less time baking cookies. You can bake a large variety of cookies and put them on a Christmassy tray add a little color with some holiday Hershey Kisses and you have the perfect desert.
One thing with Christmas Cake Recipes is that it always seems that your one or two ingredient short. You finally find one of your favorite Christmas Cake Recipes and darn, you don’t have any almond extract, nutmeg, or worse, you only have all-purpose flour and the recipe call for a different type of flour. Isn’t it all the same? Who knows?
Usually when you bake cakes you have to make icing. Then you run into twice as many ingredients that you probably don’t have like heavy cream or coconut.
The good thing about baking cookies rather then Christmas Cake Recipes is that most of the time you have everything you need. The basic ingredients are usually something you have in your cupboard everyday, or at least something easy enough to borrow from you neighbor.
Another thing about Christmas Cake Recipes is that it’s hard to please everybody when you making special cakes. With cookies you are sure to have something to please everyone. Who can turn down an irresistible chocolate chip cookie or one of those peanut butter cookies with Hershey’s kiss on the top? Anything with chocolate is a hit at my house. We all love and can’t get enough of it. There are also a lot of ideas that require no baking at all. Like mini pretzels with a Hershey’s Kiss and M&M’s melted on top, or a haystack which calls for butterscotch chips melted with La choy noodles.
Doesn’t that seem easy enough? And with these you’ll surely be a hit with the kids. If you’re not ready to throw away your Christmas Cake Recipes yet then wait till you think about this.
Christmas Cake Recipes tend to call for so many ingredients that you must purchase for making can be end up being very costly, not to mention a lot of the Christmas Cake Recipes that call for special baking pan for cakes. And for something you may make once, the cost may not be worth it.
There are so many things available from making cookies without having to start from scratch. They have chocolate chip, white chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips. And this year I was able to find mixed chocolate chips, swirled with chocolate and vanilla, or chocolate with caramel or chocolate and peanut butter. Something for everyone, that’s for sure.
So remember, this holiday season when you looking for the perfect dessert, put all of your Christmas Cake Recipes to the side and bake some old fashioned Quaker oatmeal cookies or homemade gingersnaps with cinnamon and sugar. And with parchment paper it doesn’t get any easier or neater.
