Within the last week & a half the kiddos have had 6 snow days from school! Yay! So we have had plenty of time to do a lot of holiday baking! ;) While I was at Walmart the other day (between cold spells stocking up!) I noticed the Dulce De Leche Cheesecake Kits in the Baking Center. So I picked up a couple to try out! :) We ended up making two different recipes, and they turned out sooooo yummy that we decided to package some up & surprise our snowed in neighbors with some yummy treats. So keep reading to see the yummy recipes we made, & I also have a free printable tag you can use when you treat your neighbors, too. :)

Peppermint Santa Cookies {recipe}

This post was first seen over on The Inspiration Network.

I love Christmas time, and it has become even better since we’ve had kiddos! One of our favorite Christmas traditions is making cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve. Usually we make peanut butter cookies with a Hershey Kiss on top, but this year we are going to try something a little different. I had bought some of the Candy Cane Hershey Kisses for some Snowman Soup gifts I was putting together, and I thought they’d be super yummy on some cookies! So here is what we came up with ~ Peppermint Santa Cookies! They are delicious! So keep reading to get the easy recipe! :)
