For an easy holiday treat all you need is pretzels, rolo candy, and pecans.

Place wax paper on a baking sheet. Put down the pretzels then a rolo on top. Bake in the oven at 350 for a few minutes-just until the rolos have melted. Then remove from the oven and press a pecan on top.

YUM! It is the perfect combination of sweet and salty!

Mint chocolate chip cookies

I am all about easy cooking and baking for this season of life- so when I saw these cookies I had to give them a try. The Betty Crocker cookie mixes are my favorite pre-made cookie mixes.

For this recipe all you need is:

1 pouch of sugar cookie mix (Betty Crocker)
1/2 C butter, softened
1/4-1/2 t of mint extract*
6-8 drops of green food color
1 egg
1 C creme de menthe baking chips
1 C semisweet chocolate chips

*I thought I had the mint extract and once I started cooking realized I didn't. So I omitted it. I thought the cookies were minty enough without it. So depending on how minty you like things you can take it or leave it.

Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.


Yum! They were really good!
