(November 2016 Update: I updated the old iPhone photos in this post, but if you scroll all the way to the bottom, there’s still one old photo to remember Baking Mischief’s pre-DSLR days by. 😉
We’re so close to Christmas that I can practically taste it! There are two big things I love about this time of year. One we’re going to talk about in a minute, but the other is Christmas movies! I have a very strict Christmas-movies-between-Thanksgiving-and-Christmas-day-only policy, so by the time Thanksgiving rolls around, I’m chomping at the bit to watch all of my favorites. A few on the list this year are A Muppet Christmas Carol, While You Were Sleeping, Iron Man III, and Polar Express. The family traditionally gets together and watches Love Actually, but I swear that film gets sadder every year, so we decided to give it a pass this Christmas. Do you have any favorite holiday films? And now back to my first love of Christmas time, Christmas baking! December is probably my favorite baking month, because I have an excuse to make ALL THE COOKIES, like my Miniature Hot Chocolate Cookies, my Butterscotch Shortbread Thumbprint Cookies, my Chai Sugar Cookies with Eggnog Glaze, and basically every cookie I’ve pinned on Pinterest for the last month (guys, I make so many cookies in December). But there’s one cookie that holds a special Christmas place in me heart: Snickerdoodles.
They are the cookies I make on Christmas eve every year to eat while we sip hot chocolate and wait for Santa. But everyone has a snickerdoodle recipe, and mine is very much more of the same. So I thought I’d put a little twist on it. Enter Snickerdoodle Sandwich Cookies with Eggnog Buttercream Filling. See Also: Small-batch Snickerdoodles I’m going to be honest. These are the sort of ridiculous, ridiculously good, desserts you can only really justify around the holidays. They’re rich and buttery and AMAZING. The decadent eggnog buttercream takes the humble cinnamon snickerdoodle and elevates it to the stuff of dreams. I tried a couple different fillings with these cookies and the minute this one crossed my lips, I knew I’d found a winner. I’ve been throwing test batches at everyone I know for the last couple of weeks (so I don’t eat them all myself!) to rave reviews and now I cant wait to share them with you!
