We bring to our readers a helpful Christmas cookie article, just right for the season, your kitchen and your loved ones.
We thought gifting cookies would be great, especially to all your foodie friends. Here’s a super easy no bake cookie recipe that involves chocolate and peanut butter!
Nutella Peanut Butter Holiday Cookies
Ingredients:
· 3 tablespoons butter
· ½ cup granulated sugar
· ¼ cup milk
· 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
· ¼ cup peanut butter
· ¾ cup Nutella spread
· 2 cups rolled oats
Directions
· In a medium to large saucepan, melt the butter over medium to medium-low heat. Add the sugar, milk, and cocoa powder and mix until combined. Stir in the peanut butter and Nutella until melted, followed by the oats. Continue mixing until all of the ingredients are incorporated. Reduce heat to the lowest setting.
· Working quickly, use an ice cream scoop to shape balls of dough and place them on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Refrigerate for thirty minutes until firm. Store in an airtight container.
· Place the cookies in a transparent bag and tie the top with a festive ribbon. Attach a cute card too.
Five Ways to Package Cookies for Gift Giving
· Stack cookies in mason jars, each one separated by tissue or parchment paper and tie some red or green string to give it a festive look.
· Use ice cream containers to package cookies. To get rid of the sticker, wrap the container with festive or plain wrapping paper.
· Pringles containers make perfect packaging for cookies. Add some tissue or wrapping paper and a ribbon and they’re just ideal for stacking cookies.
· Package your cookies in brown paper bags jazzed up with a bit of colourful fabric and yarn used to tie it up.
· Fill up new or vintage muffin trays with a selection of the recipient’s favourite cookies.
