Day 10: Waltz of the Snowflakes Cookie

...The Nutcracker turns into a Prince and takes Clara on a journey to the Land of Snow, an enchanted forest wonderland where they are welcomed by dancing snowflakes. The Prince escorts Clara to the Land of Sweets where they are greeted by the Sugar Plum Fairy. The prince tells her about their daring battle with the army of mice and she rewards them with a celebration of dances. Clara awakens from her dream and finds herself by her Christmas tree with her beloved Nutcracker...

Waltz of the Snowflakes Cookie

  • 1/2 cup organic cane sugar

Finally, fold in white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes. Drop by tablespoon onto lined baking sheets. Bake at 375F for 10 minutes. Let cool for about 2-3 minutes, serve with sugar plums and snowflakes. 


Roomie Reactions..
Stina: "MMMMMM!!! It's so balanced. I don't like white chocolate cookies because there are always big chunks of white chocolate and it's too sweet, but this is perfectly balanced with like the buttery cookie and sweet white chocolate. Again, I want to eat the whole plate!"
Jenna: "They were delicious."
Nick LeFors III: "I had one of your cookies...it was very good!"
