When I was little, part of our Christmas tradition was making batches of cookies from the cookie press. We had a Mirro press with which we made holly wreaths (complete with cinnamon candies for the berries…I never did like those candies, but anyway), spritz, and velvet cookies. I have the recipes copies from the original booklet and they call for lovely combinations like shortening and peanut butter or cream cheese and butter. Oh, how I loved these cookies! I remember sneaking dough from the refrigerator and thinking it was the most wonderful thing ever.
We received a cookie press for a wedding gift, and I’m looking forward to trying it out today. We’re heading up to my mother-in-law’s place to make goodies and to spend the day together. I’m going to try my best to be a grown-up and not sneak tastes from the dough.

I'm also thinking of making chocolate bark since it's so easy...melt dark chocolate chips, pour onto parchment paper (that is in a baking dish) and sprinkle with whatever topping you like. I'm thinking sea salt or candied ginger or even swirling in some slightly melted peanut butter would be ah-mazing. Place in fridge to set (or if you're desperate like we were a few weeks ago, the freezer works faster. Just don't forget that it's in there!)
