Nation Cookie Day .... Santa Surprise Cookies

Did you know today 12/4 was national cookie day?  YUP I didn't know that either until Facebook said something.  OH yes you got to love Facebook!  Well I just happened to make cookies so check me out!  A very sweet mom at the boys school who offered up a spare car for us to drive (which then turned out not to pass emissions and needs some work and her husband is working to get it up and running for us) offered to pick up kids when Rick takes my car.  She picked them up once last week and then today, so I wanted to make her some cookies.  I'm still feeling crappy so I wanted something quick, so I went to a cookie I had at a cookie exchange at my old job called Santa Cookies.

I did this very simple you can make your own sugar cookie base, I didn't feel up to making a batch from scratch so I went to my Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie mix.

Ingredients:
Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix (you can make sugar cookie base)
(Cookie Mix calls for Egg & Butter)
Mini Candy Bars (cut in half)

Make your Sugar cookie mix.  Then cut the mini candy bar in half (I tired using a full mini candy bar and it was just too big.  This is a great way to use up that Halloween Candy you have in the house.  Take a ball of sugar cookie, add half the mini candy bar and roll the cookie dough around the candy bar to make a round ball with a surprise in the center!  Bake at 350 for 10 minutes (the bag says 7-9 minutes but I found it had to cook a little longer with the candy in the middle).  Serve warm and you get a yummy gooey surprise.  Enjoy!!



Hope you all have a fab day, I am now going to curl up with some nightquil and hope it last until I have to get up for work.
