Chocolate Truffle Cookies! 3 Ways!

 Chocolate Truffle Cookies!  3 Ways! These are so yummy and taste like chocolate truffles! My 12 year old daughter adjusted this recipe on her own and made divine little cookies! They would look pretty with some powdered sugar sprinkled on them too!  Subtle variations make this dessert a crowd pleaser for any occasion! Mix the ingredients. The dough will be stiff and kind of lumpy looking.  Just press into balls and line on cookie sheet.  Bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 350*  Let cool and serve. Perfect for some Christmas baking!  Um, and sandwiched with Nutellais a great little Whoopie pie! Or any kind of frosting! Here's the recipe: 1 1/4 cup flour 1/2 cup cocoa powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 egg 1/2 cup butter 1 cup white sugar Mix butter and sugar until creamy.

Chocolate Thin Mints with Key Ingredient HD Tablet!

 Chocolate Thin Mints with Key Ingredient HD Tablet! I was sent a wonderful gift! I was sent the Key Ingredient Recipe Reader HD Tablet and stand. It's $399 regularly, but you can get it for only $279 using the code:  RRHD30 ~ This was sent to me at no cost in exchange for this review. Last year I was able to review their Key Ingredient tablet ...but this one is so improved!  I believe that you get what you pay for. A few years ago I got my daughter an off brand tablet that was less than $50. It was poor quality and had a very limited connection ability.  It didn't load well and no camera. Games and apps were unplayable because it had such a slow processor. It was basically expensive trash. If you are looking for a tablet, get an excellent one! ~ I am very pleased with this Key Ingredient HD Tablet .  It is everything HD should be. It has a clear display and great resolution.    It's giant!  Just a little bit narrower ...

Peppermint Candy Kawaii Earrings!

 Peppermint Candy Kawaii Earrings! Totally adorable mints!  So cute and fun for seasonal jewelry!  Start with 2 balls of polymer clay pressed into fat disks.  Using a hobby knife, cut them in half, half and half! (8 slices...like pie)  Do the same for both colors.  Now put the pies back together alternating colors! Then press gently to secure all the pieces together.  Using hobby knife again, slice a super duper thin layer of the mint off the front and the backside.  This will make a seamless mint! Now add in an eye hook and bake in the oven (275* for 15 minutes) Once baked and cooled, Paint on an adorable face with an embossing stylus or pin head!  A winking eye is the cutest! Let it dry completely!  Next, use a jump ring and secure the mint to an earring hook! These were mint for you! Perfect craft for older kids--like tweens and teens! Great for pendants on necklaces...bracelets or a...
