Santa Claus Cookies #Christmas #Cookies

Santa Claus cookie was peanut butter and white chocolate treats are fairly easy to make with your kids and fancy enough to give to your friends.

Somewhere in my childhood trauma with the phone. I hate the phone. I will do what it takes to not call someone.

Don't even get me started on FaceTime. It is like a phone call on steroids.

Something about getting a phone call gives me anxiety. Long ago, someone introduced me to not disturb function on my phone which means only my husband could actually call me and ring.

All other calls come quietly without ring boomed. Sometimes I accidentally left it on do not disturb and my life is much more peaceful as it is. I know. I am weird. I like the extroverted introvert.

SANTA CLAUS COOKIES

INGREDIENTS

•  12 ounces almond bark or white baking chocolate , chopped
•  1 package (1 pound) Nutter Butter sandwich cookies
•  red colored sugar
•  32 vanilla or white chips
•  64 miniature semisweet chocolate chips
•  32 red mini m&ms

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a microwave safe bowl, melt white chocolate at 70% power for 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
2. Dip one end of each cookie into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on wire racks. For Santa's hat, sprinkle red sugar on top part of chocolate. I found it easier to press the cookie into the sugar after the chocolate had slightly set. Press one vanilla chip off-center on hat for pompom; let stand until set.
3. Dip other end of each cookie into melted chocolate for beard, leaving center of cookie uncovered. Place on wire racks. With a dab of melted chocolate, attach semisweet chips for eyes and a the m&m for the nose. Place on waxed paper until set.
